Lil Duval details surviving a near-fatal Bahamas accident requiring knee surgery and his Atlanta car crash, crediting God and friend Clay for recovery. He contrasts Islam's structure with Christianity's morality, views billionaires as prisoners, and critiques streaming culture for fostering boredom over live events.

Almost Died on Four-Wheeler 00:07:20
	Because I don't think people realize this.
	You almost died.
	Yeah.
	Take me through the whole thing.
	I'm riding on my four-wheeler and I'm about to turn in my driveway.
	It just so happened this lady behind, I didn't know she was even behind me.
	She tried to go around me.
	Boom, hit me and I flew.
	I flew, dude.
	Everything was going to my head so fast.
	My life was going through my head.
	And I'm like, yo, I'm about to die.
	My old lady come down.
	She looked at me.
	This one I knew I was really fucked up.
	Well, she's like, oh, shit.
	I knew I looked crazy.
	First time I called Klaus like, I'm being a wheelchair forever now.
	He's like, nah, you're going to get through this.
	And he's the reason I got through it, honestly.
	For real, for real.
	You know how much I hate this city.
	I love the people.
	You do hate New York.
	I love the people.
	It's just the city.
	I always had bad luck here.
	Wow.
	Every time.
	Did you show them the mask you wear when you walk around?
	Oh, y'all ain't seen it?
	Nah.
	He's walking around.
	This guy's a fucking lunatic.
	Wait, which mask is this?
	He goes, he goes, I don't want people to hit the music.
	So he's just wearing an old man mask.
	What about the Chihuahua mask?
	Oh, I got that one too.
	That's my...
	He's really like Michael Jackson face right now.
	No, he ain't, man.
	Except if you took it off, less people would notice.
	Oh, this shit don't even make him big.
	Bro, why are you waving at me?
	Wait, you're doing this to not get noticed?
	No.
	Well, I do this so I can walk around.
	Nobody pay me.
	Like, I'm just doing it for the camera right now.
	But usually if I walk around, nobody pay me no attention.
	But say the real reason.
	New York.
	Because this is the safest person in New York.
	What?
	The giant baby?
	He's not an old white man.
	They're looking at you.
	You look at going, give me.
	Yeah, bro.
	What the?
	What's wrong with that?
	Nobody's fooled by that.
	You look like a goblin.
	Your hands are black.
	I put my hands in my pocket.
	It's just for a camera, man.
	But you're wearing a blinged out watch.
	You can't see the watch in this one.
	I just put that for the camera.
	But if I'm walking around normal, let me show you me walking around.
	You think white people look normal?
	You think that's walking around normal?
	Yes.
	Without the skull cap.
	Like I told you out for the camera.
	You think the skull cap just did not normal part.
	Yes.
	Let me show you me without that.
	This shit is so racist.
	This is what you think white people look like.
	Nobody came and said nothing.
	Because you have five years.
	No way.
	I didn't want them to see me.
	That's the whole point of it.
	I look so crazy to some people.
	Yeah.
	That's it.
	That is true.
	You do look crazy.
	But nigga, let me show you.
	You were doing it to scare the Asians.
	Let me show you what I look like.
	Now, you want to scare the Asians, you take the mask off.
	I'm going to show you.
	I even tried to wear like a regular mask, and motherfuckers still noticed me.
	What's a regular mask?
	I want to show you.
	Shit.
	Let me know when we need to start because I'm just talking and shit.
	I think we started.
	We started.
	Oh, we did.
	There's no start or finish.
	Oh, what's happening, y'all?
	There's no ends.
	We just go show up.
	This motherfucker knew who I was.
	I don't know how he knew who I was.
	Let me say.
	See, like, they could tell who I am with that.
	Could you tell that was me?
	No.
	You see what I'm saying?
	But they knew.
	Yeah.
	Well, where are you right now?
	That's in the airport.
	Private airport?
	No, that's at the regular commercial airport.
	Yeah.
	The peasant airport.
	I mean.
	So they're catching you at the peasant airport?
	Yeah.
	All right, that's a good guess.
	That's a good guess.
	If I saw a short black-handed person wearing an old man mask at a private jet, I wouldn't have my black hands out.
	If they in my pocket, I wear old members-only jacket when I wear this out and about.
	You don't really know what's me.
	I wear some old glasses.
	I just showed it to you.
	I didn't even post it.
	I might post it now since they got y'all.
	You dressed the outfit up for the mask?
	No, I just did that yesterday for him to send it.
	Like, that's how I'm out here chilling.
	I do a lot of shit.
	I don't post on that.
	You're just walking around with Lego sets.
	You look like a fucking shit.
	I didn't walk around with Lego sets.
	An old man holding Legos.
	Where did you see me holding Lego set?
	Where did you see me holding Legos?
	That is a little bit building Legos.
	You love Legos, though.
	It looks like you're trying to get kids, like lure them in.
	No, I ain't.
	Yeah, yeah, no, I ain't.
	The old white man, that's y'all don't build Legos?
	No.
	No, the Legos are fire.
	It actually helped me help me with my thinking and memory and all that shit.
	This is the guy right here, JK Brickworks.
	This is the best dude.
	He makes his own sets, and then you can buy the set that he makes.
	Yeah, I know.
	Or you could, he probably gave you the instructions too.
	You could buy his instructions.
	I would do.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I wouldn't buy the set he built.
	No, no, no.
	He gives you all the pieces.
	He gets a ball.
	So explain to me the Lego thing.
	Why this new obsession with Legos?
	Well, this is how it happened.
	When I got hit by that car, I ain't had shit to do.
	So I was sitting there chilling.
	So my sister, she was like, she sent me a puzzle while we was in the Bahamas.
	I was in the Bahamas chilling.
	She got me a puzzle.
	I liked the puzzle.
	I'm like, damn, this shit all right.
	It had my mind back working.
	It helps my memory.
	And I was like, shit, I'm going to do another.
	I did another one.
	But it was kind of boring.
	So I was like, I'm going to try Legos.
	Once I tried Legos, it was only popping.
	And like, you know how I am.
	Once I start doing something, I do it.
	That's why I never did cocaine.
	Oh, that's why.
	Yeah, because I knew I'm going to like it.
	Because you did the best.
	I buy a whole kitchen.
	He's like, how many Lego sets you can buy?
	I buy a whole kid snorting by myself.
	Tony Montana.
	No, it is true because I knew you before you ever smoked.
	Yep.
	I knew when you didn't smoke, you didn't drink.
	You didn't do anything back in the MPV days.
	You wouldn't even go to the Red Light District with me in Germany.
	No, the other way around, my mother.
	What do you mean?
	What do you mean?
	Nah, the other way around.
	What do you mean?
	I'm going to tell you the old lady right now.
	He is never going to cheat on you.
	He was all the way in Germany.
	And I'm like, let's go to the Red Light.
	He's like, I don't know, man.
	I got my old lady.
	I was like, ain't nobody going to know?
	I went by myself.
	You didn't go.
	You didn't want to go.
	You didn't want to go.
	I went by myself.
	When?
	You went?
	Yeah.
	I thought you didn't want to go because you were scared your old lady was going to catch you.
	Well, that too.
	See, that's what I'm saying.
	He stopped complaining about his lady.
	It's like, I said, I said, I was like, yo, I'm going to go.
	I was like, do you want to go?
	And then you were like, well, you're going to fuck something?
	I was like, no, I just want to look.
	Yeah, he just wanted to, that's what it was.
	You were like, I'm not going to no museum.
	I'm like, man, I want to fuck.
	It's nice to look, though.
	No, it ain't.
	No, it ain't.
	It is nice, though.
	Like, sometimes, like, that's what most women don't really like.
	I like to have a lot of women around me.
	Like, I ain't got to fuck them.
	Yeah.
	Just be around me naked.
	Atmosphere.
	You know, just the vibe.
	You know, but it wasn't like that Red Light District.
	Like, this was like a bucket list.
	Like, I ain't never been to the Red Light District.
	If we're going to go, we're going to fuck.
	Couple buckets out there.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I wouldn't be into a hooker that's just right there storefront on sale.
	You know what's so funny?
	I've never, I've never got hard or I've never paid for so pussy like that.
	Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
	Like in an exchange.
	Yeah, I gotta feel like you like me.
	Like, that shit don't get my dick hard.
	So that's why I've never really got into the trick.
	Have you given them a chance, though?
	Have you tried?
	Yes, I have tried.
	And then what happened?
	My dick would never get all the way hard.
	How did you get out of the situation?
	I just kept fucking and it wouldn't.
	And she kept saying, like, it was a baser.
Finding Life Beyond the Vibe 00:15:07
	Loyal crackhead.
	That's what we basically.
	What?
	Yeah.
	How much was it?
	Did you get hard?
	That might have been hard.
	No, no, because when I was a kid shit, we used to do that.
	No, I don't want to talk like that.
	No, see it.
	No.
	Nope.
	I ain't doing that because we can get fucked up in our community.
	Yes.
	So I'm going to just leave that alone.
	So how y'all doing?
	Ladies and gentlemen, today we are joined by the legend, the motherfucking GOAT, the most interesting man in the world.
	We got a little dude ball in there.
	Type shit.
	Yeah.
	Man, I'm so proud of you, man.
	Like, just to see where you come and see how you grew.
	And just like he said, I saw an interview.
	Talk about you that shit, real.
	Just to see you, even the bigger you get, the more you become a better man.
	Trying, yeah, I gotta salute you for that.
	Trying to, you're the inspiration, man.
	You know, I always give you credit, bro.
	I appreciate it.
	Like, I told everybody, I was like, man, out of all the people that have been around me, it was a white man that listened to me.
	I used to annoy him so much, so much.
	Yeah, yeah, tell every time he's like, hey, man, I'm like, man, stop asking me so many fucking questions.
	Every day it got cold.
	Every time we went, they asked me a question, asked me something.
	Hey, I used to tell Charlotte, man, like, man, this motherfucker keep asking me shit, keep asking about how much I make, what you do, this, how you do that.
	I'd be like, man, stop asking me shit.
	And this because I figured real early that you like, real early that you had the game kind of figured out.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The game of life, he says.
	No, not well, yeah.
	At first, it was comedy and entertainment.
	And then when we went to the Bahamas, I was like, oh, shit.
	Figured it out.
	You're operating on a different, a very different level.
	But real early, I was like, oh my God, this guy has it figured out.
	He's got his independence.
	He's inspiring all these like trends.
	And nobody even knows outside of his community that he's starting it.
	Like, even the word basic, the way that we talk about basic, but like, there are people right now that are using it.
	My fucking wife uses a word that you popularize and has no clue it comes from you.
	Yeah.
	So once I picked up on that early in guy code, I was just like, let me get game.
	Yeah.
	This guy has it fucking.
	I respect people like that too.
	You told me, shut up.
	You're going to stop asking questions.
	Just observe.
	Yeah.
	And I guess that's how you picked up game.
	Yeah.
	That's what I tell people all the time.
	People don't listen.
	They follow.
	So you just got to give them something to follow.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like most of the stuff we learn, we learn from watching people.
	Morris, we had a guy on the pod that said, Morris, caught than taught.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You can teach all you want to, but people aren't going to listen.
	Yeah, people are not going to listen.
	And when they do listen, they done heard it for a fifth person.
	I get a kick out of that.
	Like, I get a kick out of seeing people be me and they don't know it's me.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	That's where I get my satisfaction from.
	Like, I don't get it from the flowers.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You get it from actually impacting culture.
	Yeah, seeing it.
	It's like saying, like, you got a child now.
	When you see, when you see yourself in them, you get satisfaction just in that.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So that's what I get out of people.
	I just see myself in.
	And not only in just people that look like me, people like you, people like you.
	You see it in them.
	People like you.
	You see them in them.
	You is me.
	So no, but that's a good point.
	That's a good point.
	It's like, if you're doing something that he started, that's more obvious.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	When you see me do it, you're like, oh, I'm really impacting culture.
	But that's another thing I picked up from you.
	It was like, that's all perspective.
	A lot of people would look at that and be like, all these motherfuckers copying me and I ain't getting no credit.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You're giving yourself the validation.
	Yeah, it's like I've always knew you can't wait on other people to give you a praise and shit like that.
	If you wait on that, you're going to be disappointed.
	So I never relied on that.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, when people do give it to me, I damn near cry because I ain't used to it.
	I don't know how to take the response to love and shit like that because I ain't used to it.
	Even when I got an accident, I wasn't so used to, I didn't realize how many people had love for me.
	I did.
	Like, I knew, I knew you had love.
	Like, I knew the people that the tribe that I got around me, I know they're going to be there.
	So that's where I got my.
	But I didn't realize all these people.
	Yeah, the industry.
	Like, the people, like, damn, these motherfuckers, like, I really had an effect on them motherfuckers.
	And you had people that was calling.
	I didn't expect to call me or people that was checking on me and shit like that.
	So that surprised me out of that.
	So what was we talking about?
	I forgot.
	Yeah, you know, it's just you getting your, just you getting your credit and how you've created a system.
	And this is what I think you do constantly that I really admire.
	You create these systems where you can get the validation that you want without somebody walking up to you and patting you on the back.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And then when they do do that, it's icing on the cake.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's like, like I say, I don't know how to take it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You'd be like, shit.
	Like, people come, man, man, you did such and such.
	And I probably, they probably look at me like this motherfucker just looking at me crazy, but I really don't be knowing what to say.
	I don't know how to say thank you.
	I knew I did that.
	And that's in my mind.
	It's like, I know it.
	How did you learn that?
	How did you learn?
	I can't look for validation from other people giving me compliments.
	I got to find it in other ways.
	Well, I've always did it.
	I've always did it since I was a kid and I've always had it.
	But then once I start seeing other people looking for it and they're sad and dangerous looking.
	And I was like, I don't want to be like that.
	You know what I'm saying?
	This is the observation shit that you keep doing.
	Like, I don't know.
	Was there nobody that was kicking into you directly?
	So you had to.
	That's God, honestly.
	I can't give no credit to nobody.
	Like, I'm a genius.
	You know, I'm dumb than a motherfucker.
	Like, I'm not.
	No, no, no, no.
	I mean, when I say dumb, I'm like, I'm not a genius.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I'm not sitting up here.
	I just think you understand it.
	I think you might be.
	I just have understanding.
	If you ask anybody that's a genius, they probably tell you they most people that got to understand you know how dumb we are.
	Like, I know how dumb I am.
	Yeah.
	Once you understand it, you, you take everything and you learn more.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, people that think they're smart, they the dumbest people.
	Here's what I would say.
	There's Andrew uses this term a lot with like a genius zone.
	And your genius zone is life.
	Like living with your genius on.
	How to live your genius zone, which is a fucking beautiful thing.
	Yeah, I also feel like you just not, you're not fighting life constantly.
	You know, there are people who try to swim upstream.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And then there are people who just float.
	Yeah.
	And I feel like, I don't know, to me, when I'm observing you, it's like constantly moving with it.
	And this is why I do say you're genius.
	It's like when I've started asking you how you kind of plotted your career, you picked out all the things that you did and then did them.
	It's not like you fell into them accidentally.
	You analyzed it.
	Like, let's go way back, right?
	Let's go like way, way back.
	Okay.
	See, like now you talk, giving me problems.
	I know I know.
	I'm going to still make fun of you.
	Yeah, please.
	Your head's big and you're short.
	I need Andrew Schultz and shit.
	I got you.
	I got you.
	Evolving from the back.
	Don't show up.
	Don't show up.
	I don't give a fuck.
	People try to blame it, bro.
	Now, this right here.
	Y'all were converting to Judaism.
	I don't wear the license.
	You would wear the high chains trying to get the shit.
	I had that shit on when I got hit by the car.
	I feel like every time something happened to me, I had that on.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, I believe in all this.
	You think it's safe?
	Wait, it's a cause.
	It's the cause of the protection.
	Yeah.
	What?
	Say it again.
	Is it the cause of it or the protection?
	I think it was just a protection from like every time something happened.
	I always had that high piece out.
	So imagine if you had means what my song and live my best life.
	Yeah.
	I didn't plan that.
	Like, it's like the universe just works in my favor.
	Even when I got hit by the car, I felt like this shit was supposed to happen.
	I just wish it did.
	Can we go to the car?
	Because I don't think people realize this.
	You almost died.

	But Gaslit, most important thing, the merch also, Soul Joels, those are the things.
	Thank you guys so much.
	Let's get back to the show.
	I don't think people realize this.
	You almost died.
	Yeah.
	Like, you were very close.
	And if you go back a few years before that, you have a song out and you have a philosophy out, which is just like, hey, live your best life.
	You're openly saying, I got life figured out.
	I got it all.
	Everything's done.
	I figured it out.
	Trust me, if you follow me, your life is going to be better.
	You like bragging.
	Was there?
	Do you?
	I feel like God did this to show.
	All right, we're going to see if you bought all that shit you're talking about.
	I've always wanted to ask you.
	While I was sitting there, I was like, damn, he really put me through this shit.
	The show.
	Because it wasn't just that.
	It's Kool-Aid.
	Yeah.
	Then Clay.
	Oh, no, then Accent.
	Clay was after.
	Clay was like, the day I got off my crutch, the next day, that's when this shit happened.
	So think about this, right?
	You're telling people I got life figured out.
	One of your best friends passes.
	You get in an accent that almost kills you.
	And then right after recovery, a little bit, your other best friends.
	No, I'm talking about the next day.
	I got off my crutch.
	I talk about this on stage.
	Like, as soon as I got off my crutch, he was like, I was like, I ain't got to walk with no crutch no more.
	He's like, yeah, but take that shit to child support tomorrow.
	Because I had a child support court tomorrow the next day.
	I took it to child support court.
	I called him.
	I was in the Bahamas because after I went to child support, I went straight to the Bahamas.
	I was like, I did say everything.
	He's like, you paid her because I had to pay right then.
	He's like, yeah, I paid.
	He's like, all right, cool.
	As long as you paid her.
	Hung up.
	Two hours later, everybody called me and was telling me that shit was that shit at far.
	It was like everything was like a movie.
	Like my life be like a damn movie.
	It's like, damn, is this the part here?
	Like, I know it's part.
	Like, I always know life is up and down.
	But I'm like, when you're in that, she's like, damn, this is that part of the movie.
	So do you think God was testing you?
	Like, you think you got this from the movie?
	I don't think God was testing.
	I think it was more a test of shit.
	He knew I was going to get through it.
	So he used me because other people probably was like, how you like?
	He just talking that.
	Oh, it's easy to be happy when you're rich.
	Yeah, it's easy.
	It's easy to be happy when you got it.
	It's like Bahamas example.
	And I was like, damn, this is the part of the example.
	You know, like when you're doing the movie in the movie, it says, you're going to get shot here.
	You're going to have to do a recovery.
	You got to lose a lot of weight.
	You got to do all this.
	The night is always darkest before the day.
	Yeah.
	So I'm like, damn, this is the part of that movie.
	Okay.
	Take us to the accident.
	Okay.
	Take us to.
	Take me through the whole thing.
	All right.
	I'm coming.
	I'm leaving.
	See, it's.
	I've been in your place.
	So I pull out the, I go my eyes starting before that.
	So when I'm over there, my batteries be dead on my four-wheelers and all that shit there.
	So I had to jump the four-wheel up.
	So I jumped the four-wheeler up.
	I drive it around to keep the get it on.
	Oh, you got to charge up the battery.
	Yeah, charge up the batteries.
	So I drive down to a beach down there.
	You know, we got beaches everywhere.
	I pop up to one of them beaches.
	I'm sitting there smoking by myself.
	I'm just looking back.
	And you know me, I'll be so happy.
	Like, I can't believe I'm here.
	I'm such, such, such.
	I really did it.
	So I'm like, this is a good place to fuck too.
	So I'm like, all right, go back to the house.
	Gratitude will do that.
	Yeah, for real, man.
	He's like, come on, beautiful because he's got the universe.
	Yeah, so push it.
	Yeah, so I'm riding back.
	Now, you know, my road is empty as fuck.
	You might see five cars the whole day on this.
	There's no numbers for the homes.
	There's no address.
	You got to know, like, go by the red house.
	Yeah.
	Left at the blue house.
	Like, those are the directions that he gave me when we were going to his crib.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Exactly.
	The road is, it's paved, but it's not paid.
	It's paved.
	It's like one road.
	And like, we drive on this side, on the left side, not the right side.
	And the only reason I'm telling you, because this is why it happened.
	So we driving.
	I'm riding on my four-wheeler and I'm about to turn in my driveway.
	You know how my drive drop to turn in my driveway as I'm about to turn my, just so happened, this lady behind, I never, I didn't know she was even behind me.
	She tried to go around me.
	Because you're obviously slowing down.
	So she's like, I don't want to go.
	I'm going around.
	Yeah.
	And then they drive wild.
	They don't give a fuck.
	They drive in the middle of the road.
	Now, so she's trying to go around me.
	She's trying to go around me.
	Just so happened the right time.
	Boom, hit me and I flew.
	I flew.
	Wow.
	Do you remember flying through the air?
	Yes.
	I talk about it on stage.
	I ain't going to give it here because I want to.
	But I talk about it on stage and laying out on the ground.
	I'm sitting there.
	And I'm like, yo, I'm about to die.
	So once I realized I wasn't paralyzed.
	How do you realize you're not paralyzed?
	I started feeling my toes.
	Pain or your actual body.
	It was painful than a motherfucker, but it's kind of hard to explain because everything was going in my head so fast.
	My life was going through my head and everything.
	And I was like, oh, shit, I fucked up.
	Now, keep in mind, where he is, there's no real hospital.
	No.
	There might not be anybody.
	Is your old lady in the house?
	She's asleep.
	Listen.
	So it's like, he was just going to wake her up for a while.
	I could be there forever, right?
	So I'm sitting there and the lady stopped and she go get my old lady.
	And so when she go get my old lady, my old lady come down.
	She look at me.
	This is like I knew I was really fucked up.
	Well, she's like, oh, shit.
	I knew I looked crazy.
	Yeah.
	I knew it was.
	And the first thing she said out of her mouth was, oh, you got all your teeth.
	Because like right before that, the day before that, I had said some shit about people, old people ain't got back teeth.
	I got all my back teeth.
	So I was talking shit about teeth.
	And so she was thinking this was like that.
	Like, man, fuck out of here.
The Moment I Wasn't Bullshit 00:11:12
	So the first thing I tried to, I called Clay.
	First part I called Clay.
	I was like, man, I fucked up, bro.
	I was like, this shit over, man.
	Like, I knew.
	Wow.
	It was a death call.
	Yeah, I was like, wow.
	I knew, I was like, I'm going to be in a wheelchair forever now.
	I was like, I'm going to be in a wheelchair forever now.
	So right through that whole time laying on the ground, I was laying on the ground for a long time.
	I'll tell you later, but I was going through all the money I had.
	I started saying what I can't do no more.
	You just started thinking about all, like I say, like you said before, I prepared myself for everything.
	So right then, I was preparing myself for being handicapped and not having no shoe be able to go on the road no more.
	All that shit had all my head.
	Wow.
	But Clay kept being on the, I don't even want to talk about it because it's going to make me cry.
	Good, good, good.
	I don't want to cry.
	I cry with Clay.
	I love crying.
	This is beautiful.
	Yo, people need this, man.
	I need to hear about this.
	Nah, so, well, when it happened, I kept telling him, kept telling Clay, now fuck.
	He like, nah, you're going to get through this shit.
	And he's the reason I got through it, honestly.
	For real, for real.
	I don't want to talk about this shit, bro.
	No, it's beautiful, man.
	No, it ain't, man.
	It's beautiful.
	That's why I ain't want to do this shit because I knew you were going to bring this shit up.
	Good.
	I don't even want to talk about that shit.
	Well, you don't have to do anything, but to me, it's really beautiful to see you have these emotions.
	Why you don't want to talk about it.
	No, it's just, it's just.
	It's hard to.
	It's hard to explain it all through, because you still, it ain't the accident i'm i'm, I overcame the accident.
	I'm still recovering from Clay.
	Yeah, you see what i'm saying.
	So yeah, so all that happened, but the day he was the first person at the hospital and he was the last person at the goddamn when, when the happened, so yeah, the was a real, he's a man.
	I don't, yeah, I think people who maybe are unfamiliar with Clay, he's like an absolute icon in the music business and like a real stand-up dude and to the point where there was a lot of situations and you could probably speak to like the music business, and I think you were his first comedy client, right?
	Yeah, that ain't no about comedy.
	He never knew about it, but he knew about standing on business.
	Yeah yeah, you know like like, for example, like nobody was gonna short you, nobody was gonna short any artist of Clay's and he would really stand, but he even wasn't that, he was just a genuine person.
	Yeah like, even when I with you, I focus a genuine person.
	Yeah, you know what i'm saying.
	He just and it's hard to find genuine people.
	Yeah, and that's why I hold that more than anything.
	Yeah, people being genuine, because I could find talent.
	I got talent.
	Yeah, I don't need nobody to have talent, I don't need nobody to do, especially with technology.
	I could do everything.
	Yeah, you seen me first.
	I'm the first nigga with a drone in Times Square.
	Yeah, I got footage of Times Square that nobody got.
	Yeah, you know what i'm saying.
	So I, I could do everything myself.
	Technology, I could do everything myself.
	Yeah, it's just finding people, genuine people.
	Yeah, I hold on to them.
	Yeah, and he was one of them.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So what else we want to talk about?
	We talk about everything, bro.
	I'm curious about the, the recovery.
	You actually, you go to the hospital and how long does it take for you to get on your feet, to get back walking?
	Yeah, about six months.
	How long it was when you came and shot that, when I was down there and I checked in on you.
	I'm down in Atlanta, i'm doing a movie.
	Oh, we went to Magic City.
	You're just the craziest dude.
	I go, I go, I go, yo man, I want to, I want to hang, I want to like, come and see you where you at.
	Uh, I was like, do you want to go get some food or something like that?
	And he go.
	And then you said nah, let's go to Magic City.
	And I was like, why you're like uh, what'd you say?
	You're like uh, it's safer.
	It was something about you parking your car at a restaurant.
	You were worried that like, some people might recognize your car and then they'll try to follow you.
	Oh yeah, this is when they were jacking cars like crazy.
	Oh yeah yeah yeah they, they be, they be stealing cars in Atlanta a lot.
	So I, you just got to pay attention and know where you're going in Atlanta or whatever.
	Yeah, but yeah, I took up to the, I took up the Magic City and like that there, just because I survived, that's.
	And Clay was there too.
	You know what i'm saying.
	It's like I said Clay always been there for a.
	Yeah, I mean, that was that was right after the accident or no, that was a few months, it was about six, about four, five months afterwards.
	But I was in the, I was in my wheelchair and that's why I put respect on people handicapped like yeah, because the world don't give a about handicapped people for real.
	Anybody you see out there in that goddamn wheelchair.
	They did a lot just to get up.
	Yeah, and you learned that when you that goddamn chair, but that's that.
	See, that's another thing, like perspective with you.
	I think a lot of people look at that and they be angry that they were in a wheelchair.
	And then you look at it and you're just like man, because I know I was getting up.
	They ain't never getting up.
	You know what i'm saying.
	Like I knew like, like I said at what point did you decide i'm recovering from this?
	When I was laying on that ground waiting for about four hours, couple hours waiting.
	You know what i'm saying.
	That's when I knew you were like you go through the whole, i'm gonna die, all that.
	It don't take long again, keep going.
	Yeah, it don't take long for me, like I I had, and especially when you getting, when you in the air and flying, you real like everything passed through your life.
	You just go through everything.
	And then well, the first person I called was my daughter, but she she didn't pick up her mama to pick up.
	Then I called Clay yeah yeah, you know what i'm saying.
	So you start and then Charlemagne man, this Charlemagne yeah, this is great, this is the most Charlemagne reaction go.
	I'm fucked up.
	I might even have on FaceTime.
	Yeah, you're FaceTime.
	Yeah, he was like, huh?
	I can't even say it because I don't really want to say what he said.
	We can bleep it.
	I ain't saying it because I don't want to throw somebody else under the bus.
	Can we just cut it and you just tell them?
	I'll tell you off camera because I don't trust you.
	We're going to bleep it.
	We're going to bleep it.
	I promise you.
	We'll bleep it.
	He was like, so I was like, hey, man.
	Because the first, only person I know that know this, know my islands out there is Ludacris.
	Yeah.
	And so I was like, yo, call Ludacris and tell him I need to send this plane over here.
	Because, nigga, I need a jet to get over here quick.
	To get over to Miami from the Bahamas.
	Yeah, he was like, all right, cool.
	This nigga thought I was bullshitting the whole time.
	He was doing like a joke or a sketch or something.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He thought I was bullshitting the whole goddamn time.
	It wasn't till Clay called him.
	I say, Clay is through all this shit.
	It wasn't till Clay called them.
	He's like, yo, Clay.
	And then he was like, oh, he really is fucked up.
	And nobody really understood how fucked up I was because this how I knew I could take drugs too.
	And like, that's why I want to do cocaine because I could really take some drugs.
	And they shot me up with morphine like three times.
	How good did it feel?
	Man, it felt so amazing.
	At that moment, I understood why people do drugs.
	It was like, that shit hit your body.
	Dog, I was so fucked up.
	I was on, they were surgery and drilling a hole in my knee.
	I got online while they was doing that shit.
	And I was turnt up like a monkey.
	That's when they realized I wasn't bullshit.
	That's when the world realized I wasn't bullshit.
	Everybody thought I was bullshitting until that's why I tell you, I tell people like, people always talk about the bad shit on social media.
	But I'm proof that when you use that shit right, it'll goddamn change, it'll change the world.
	You know what I'm saying?
	The shit like even through the whole situation, all those people, like I was talking to Ice-T yesterday at the show.
	He came to the show and he was like, man, shit like that, give you a different perspective on life and shit.
	It wasn't like that for me.
	I think who I was prepared me for that.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Because it made me that.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, if I didn't have who I was, like, to live my best life mentality, I wouldn't have been able to get through that shit.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Because that shit.
	It broke you.
	It would have broke the shit out of you.
	Because that whole shit and all the love I got from, I always show love to handicapped people and all, even before this shit happened, all the motherfuckers came to my side.
	Really?
	Nigga, my first show is like a whole row of wheelchairs.
	There you go.
	As fired.
	Shit, look at that.
	They all came.
	Like, man, we'll fake this shit from the new market.
	He's like, I'm going to get all the disabled people out there.
	That shit was packed for the first couple of shows because I did my first couple shows in a wheelchair, bro.
	Like cracker batteries.
	Like a drive-in movie, bro.
	Yeah, they came out.
	It was in that motherfucker.
	They all came out the show love.
	So like I said, no, they was telling me how to handle shit.
	Like, even while I was going through shit, like the DMs, like, they'll send me shit.
	Or people that went through the same situation, they'll tell me how to handle certain shit or give me words of encouragement and shit like that.
	So it worked a lot.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Who was the most surprising person or group that reached out?
	What were you most shocked by?
	Just the...
	In the whole recovery.
	It wasn't nobody's celebrities like that.
	Not even celebrity, but like, what was the most surprising thing?
	Shit, the love I got back from the industry people.
	Because like I said, you know me, I don't, as much as people think, like, your industry, like, hang with celebs, I've never been that guy like that.
	I never gave a fuck about hanging with celebrities.
	But the celebrities that I, that, that, um, that hit me up, I was more surprised about.
	And, and just the love I got from outside of people that I didn't think that knew me.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So shit like that.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, it's more a community thing.
	Like, it wasn't like a.
	Yo, you know what it is sometimes?
	It's like when somebody's going through something difficult, you feel more comfortable showing them love than when they're thriving because when they're thriving, you show them love.
	Some people feel like they're just glazing you.
	Yeah.
	Or like they're just trying to kiss your ass.
	But when you're struggling, it's almost like the excuse to pour in.
	To pour in.
	Maybe so.
	I guess so.
	It's just like even like when you have a kid, it's so easy for people to reach out and congratulate you and just give you so much love.
	I felt that.
	And yeah, it's just an awesome.
	And then later on down the line, like when you call me this day, like, man, this shit is a lot.
	Bro.
	Yo.
	Yo, he told me funny as shit yesterday because I was like, yo, I don't know how anybody does this.
	He goes, he goes, he goes, man, for the first two years, I was a baby mama.
	Yeah, I was.
	But like I told him, like, that was the...
	You stayed home during the day with me.
	Yeah, like, and when my baby mama came on, I felt like they're like, where the fuck you been?
	But all she been was at work.
	You feel it.
	But like I told him, like, that was the most important part.
	Like, that's what the bond I got with my daughter now because they won the two-year-old time.
	Because it'd be like a nurturing or like a psychological shit that goes on at that time that you bond that you can't take away from when they get old.
	And like, no matter what somebody say about me, it ain't going to affect her because my dad stayed home with me.
	I believe that.
	It'd be little shit like that.
	You don't even think about it.
	But like I say, like, I didn't put no thought, like, I'm not smart enough to say I'm going to be with my daughter until she won.
	I mean, like, the first month, I mean, the first year, I'm not going to be with her like that.
	But somehow the universe made me why I had to sit there like that for about a year.
Bonds That Last a Lifetime 00:11:48
	You know what I'm saying?
	Did you have any animosity or frustration to the woman that hit you?
	Like, people ask me, did I sue her?
	Nope.
	I never said nothing to her because, like I said, I felt like it was supposed to happen.
	Like, the way this shit happened and it was nobody on the road.
	It's like, how the fuck?
	Just us two on the fucking road.
	It's like she was supposed to hit me.
	And then she was the one to save me.
	If she wasn't there, I would have bled to death.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Did you ever see her afterwards or talk to her?
	People kept trying to talk to me.
	And then, like, the Bahamas showed me love, too.
	Like, they was all praying for me and shit.
	So it was just like I couldn't, like, I couldn't, I couldn't.
	They show you a lot of love in the Bahamas.
	Yeah, they showed me love because I showed them love.
	It just comes back.
	I remember when I came there, we were filming the dropping in episode.
	I had all this camera gear and the people asked me, what is it at the customs?
	They're like, well, what's going on here?
	And I was like, oh, we're just going to film something.
	They're like, because this is a professional production or whatever.
	And I go, I'm just going to film it with Lil Duval.
	The customs guy was like, all right.
	See, I didn't know that.
	But that's why I say, like, sometimes it's just how you move and it works in your favor.
	Cause like I didn't know like they showed me love.
	Like, I don't really show them love because I'm really from there.
	Like, my family's from there.
	So I just feel like it's a part of me.
	And I feel like it's my duty to bring the world to have an understanding of our culture.
	Why do you pretend to be related to Harriet Tubman?
	What's that about?
	That ain't no fucking pretend, motherfucker.
	I got proof.
	That's my family.
	Like, that's my family on my mama's side.
	Like, my mom, my grandma, that's my grandma.
	That's a great thing to say to white people.
	And my grandma's still alive, and she'll tell you.
	90-something.
	What's she at 97?
	She don't look like me.
	Nah, I can see it.
	That's what it is.
	I can set him up for that.
	I just set him up in that.
	I'm glad he said it.
	She looks like Alex.
	It's funny.
	Alex, are you related to that?
	Y'all related.
	What the fuck is happening?
	I believe too.
	Like, I didn't realize it.
	I didn't learn this until I got older, and it makes me more understand how I am.
	Like, I really do shit for my people.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, I really try to, I'm the underground railroad for ignorant niggas.
	I let these niggas go, like, look, this is what's coming on.
	Y'all need to come get on this road before we get left behind.
	You're the overground railroad.
	Yeah, the overground for real.
	Like, it's funny, but it's real.
	Like, we need it.
	Like, we're getting left behind around.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So I'm the nigga to say, oh, no, nigga, y'all ain't finna leave us.
	Do you feel like that's your responsibility?
	Yeah.
	And you feel like you have the perfect way of communicating.
	And it works.
	I see it.
	Like, niggas wasn't scuba diving.
	Niggas wasn't fun.
	It's so niggas was written jets.
	But we didn't know we could really fly.
	Like, you didn't see until you see.
	You are what you see.
	So, even all the traveling.
	Like, I saw traveling.
	But that's it wasn't just for black people.
	I think you were going to places white people weren't going to just yet.
	Yeah, but way ahead of the trend of traveling to these places.
	Yeah, I understand.
	Like, I, but I also understand.
	This is like, you do shit for the world.
	Remember when we first met?
	And I was like, yo, be honest with me.
	Because I was watching his Instagram.
	I'm seeing him at a different place every other week.
	I'm yo, be honest.
	Do you take all the pictures in one vacation and then just spread them out throughout?
	I didn't understand it.
	Like, I didn't understand how rich he was.
	Like, I didn't know.
	Most people don't know because, like, when you're around me, you fuck around, forget.
	Just like when I'm around Snoop.
	If you really, well, everybody knows Snoop, but like, when you're around him, he's so down to earth and genuine.
	You forget that he's like, you forget about it.
	He's a fucking super superstar.
	Ain't nobody bigger than him.
	Goddamn.
	Everybody knows Snoop on any part of the world.
	So it's, I think people have that same thing with me.
	You fuck around and don't even think like this motherfucker just was at how many that goddamn barclays?
	20,000, 18,000.
	20,000.
	All of them was standing up saying to live my best life.
	Like this, so you won't realize that because when I come back home, I'm just sitting there chilling in my flip-flops and rich broke swimming trunks.
	Yeah.
	But you like new experiences.
	You like new experiences.
	Yeah, I do.
	Yeah, I like to, I'm explorer too.
	So what do you think it is like from people from where you grew up that might be have an aversion to trying new things?
	And why were you different?
	God, like I said, I ain't got no you believe in reincarnation?
	We do.
	That's a lot.
	Because I do feel like people say, you have a lot of life experience.
	I feel like you have a lot of lives.
	Yeah, yeah, that's what I got.
	You know how I learned that?
	Joe Rogan.
	Really?
	When he told me about what we was talking about on his show, and he was just like, and once he explained it to us, like, you know what?
	Maybe that's how I figured it out.
	Because like I say, I'm not smart.
	So it was just like, how did I have this much understanding as a kid?
	And then it evolved over time.
	Yeah, you are like in Hinduism.
	We talk about people that are just like, they've just lived more lives since they even figured out this younger.
	But I understand Hinduism.
	Like, I feel like we all Hinduism, but as humans, as humans, we do need rules.
	That's where Islam comes in.
	You don't need rules.
	Yeah, but everybody else needs rules.
	No, but see, the rules is a lot for me because I'm Americanized.
	So that's why I'm a Christian.
	So I can apologize for some bullshit.
	Yeah, you want to know the rules there, but you still want to break it down.
	Yeah, say that.
	Nah, we all supposed to be just doing what we want to do, but that's cool.
	I don't want to fuck around and fuck a dog.
	That's why you can't let everybody understand that religion.
	Wait, What the fuck dog is?
	I understand which religion?
	Hinduism.
	Like, it's like, what the fuck you want to do?
	Like, it's just freedom.
	It's like you're free, but some people, freedom goes to.
	You have to, you get karma.
	You know what I mean?
	You got to pay that.
	But karma ain't enough for now.
	Darma ain't enough for now.
	Now, in America, you say, just free and just do what you want to do.
	We'll do it.
	You'll do it.
	So it don't work here.
	So you need Islam to be like, no dog fucking.
	Yeah, like calm your ass down.
	Stay in these rules and you'll never.
	And see, I already have my own rules in my head.
	So a lot of stuff I don't, I don't expect.
	You're fucked up.
	Where do you get rules?
	Where do you get the rules?
	Self-discipline.
	But how do you decide what is moral?
	What is ethical?
	Shit, you put something in your, you put people in your life that's going, like people like Clay, he was the person, like, even though, like, I do what I want to do, but sometimes when he used to tell me shit, even if I didn't agree with it, I just do it.
	Because it just gave me structure shit.
	Dude, it's so funny.
	I always say this about my dad.
	I'm like, what would my dad do in this situation?
	And I feel like a lot of people have that with religion.
	They're just like, okay, what would Jesus do?
	Literally, what would Jesus do in this situation?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Because he's the embodiment of the best decision to make in that moment.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But if you don't have that, I can see how anxious you must be because you never know what the right thing to do is.
	Yeah.
	I mean, we all can get fucked up with some shit, but like I say, I always, I'm a forward thinker.
	So if you're a forward thinker, you're always thinking about what if, what if I'm in this position?
	I ain't trying to go in that position.
	That's why I've never chased being a billionaire because I've seen people in that position and it's nothing appealing to me about it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You're almost a prisoner of it.
	Yeah, it's like I don't care enough about that type of shit like that.
	I don't care about the money.
	I don't care about all I can make a difference.
	And I've seen it.
	I've proven I can make a difference with being on this level.
	Yeah.
	Make a more impact than them motherfuckers.
	It's actually more relatable on this level, probably.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And now, don't get it twisted because that part, it's all part of the ecosystem.
	You need that motherfucker up there too.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Because they make changes in the world too.
	But you still need somebody right here to make a change too.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So it all works in the work of the ecosystem.
	Do you ever get like upset or angry?
	And if you do, how do you deal with it?
	It's like five minutes or some shit, but there ain't no real anger.
	That's really nothing to be angry about.
	I haven't seen everything.
	I've done everything.
	I done got fucked up.
	Damn near died a couple times.
	Like, this is the second time I got hit by a car.
	Y'all ain't know it?
	No.
	That's how this happened.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I just let people think that it's, but this shit been like this since I was a jet.
	Since I got, well, not a job, about 20 something, I got hit by a car in Atlanta.
	And dragged under it, right?
	No, I got hit crossing the street.
	The motherfucker hit me.
	It wasn't as bad as this one.
	How'd it hit you?
	Just crossing the street, just hit me and I flew again.
	Like, I'm a little motherfucker, so I'll be an idiot.
	And then shit.
	That time, too, people are going to think I'm bullshitting.
	But that time, too, when I was laying out there and blood was coming all down my face.
	I'm telling you that shit was pouring down out of this shit.
	And somebody, I don't know who it was, some lady walked up and touched my head and that shit stopped.
	I swear.
	Come on, stop.
	I promise you, man.
	Like, even with this surgeries, nigga, I had to have surgery here, three surgery.
	Then they told me they saw blood on your brain.
	Yeah.
	They told me that.
	And they was like, we're going to probably have to have surgery in the morning.
	And that night I prayed like a motherfucker.
	To whom?
	God.
	Which one?
	My God.
	Whatever God that's been helping me through all this, that's who I prayed to.
	Take that.
	And shit.
	I don't care what other people do, but it's been working for me.
	Yeah, yeah.
	God has been working for me.
	So it ain't broken.
	I ain't finna keep going arguing with people about it.
	And then what happened?
	Shit, the next morning, it's like, it ain't there no more.
	Man, get the Tuvalu.
	Nigga, I'm here.
	I ain't had no surgery up here.
	So you think it was the same lady?
	Nah, it was God using other people to get to me.
	What's the closest you've had to a conversation?
	Or the universe or whatever y'all want to call it.
	What's the closest you've had to an interaction or a conversation with God?
	I remember you telling me one one time.
	What did I say?
	Because I don't remember.
	This is after Kool-Aid or around the time of Kool-Aid.
	And you said that you thought God used him in a moment to just.
	I feel like God uses all of us.
	But no, it was a specific thing.
	You're like, you got emotional, you're talking about, but you're like, it was like God just went boom and like gave you a fist pump or something like that.
	Like, I don't remember, man.
	Like, when I talk to you, it'd be more genuine shit.
	So I don't be, it's not like I'm scripted and thinking about what I said and shit.
	So I don't remember what I said, but I just like when I see God, I see God in the good.
	Like to me, God is good.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, that's dope.
	But there's sometimes I feel like you've had direct, what you feel is direct communication almost.
	I feel like.
	Not like he's going to be, well, how you doing?
	But there's, it was like.
	I think he said there's a moment where Kool-Aid has to play Smile Bitch or something like that.
	Oh.
	That's right.
	Oh, yeah.
	Squeezed your hands.
	Oh, that's what I said.
	I said, if you don't believe in God, you ever seen somebody die?
	That's when you was like, oh, no, this shit real.
	Or you realize it's something after this.
	You see what I'm saying?
	Why, why, why?
	Because like when he, when Kool-Aid died, right before you, I was like, what you, I was like, you want me to play something?
	And he couldn't talk, but he gave like a thing.
	I was like, what you want me to play?
	And I was like, you want me to play Smile Bitch?
	And he did his thing like that.
	So I played Smile Bitch.
	He wanted me to play Lovely Day and Smile Bitch.
	I played Lovely Day, then I played Smile Bitch.
	Right after I played Smile, but he tried to pull the shit out.
	And I say, oh, nigga.
	I promise you.
	I said, don't do it with me in here.
	And then I went and told his son.
	And then he was like, that's it.
	And then after I left, he died the next day.
	Because I was at Bahamas too that day.
A Story Like a Movie 00:05:38
	When Clay shared with Clay, I was in the Bahamas.
	And that's why I was like, damn, this shit like a movie.
	But when his shit happened, because what happened was like that was, I had a show in Detroit.
	And I was like, he was like, man, I don't think.
	But right before he was like, I don't think I'm going to make it.
	I was like, I'll be up there, dog.
	And so he waited until I came up there.
	And then when I left, he died.
	Fuck, man.
	That's a brother.
	It's real, bro.
	Like, that shit real.
	That live, death, and all that shit.
	You can die when you want to.
	My grandmother was in like a comatose state for a long time.
	She passed away when I was a kid, but she woke up one night out of nowhere and just started talking, asking for her family, asking for her family.
	We came back.
	We came by.
	She saw all of us, eyes wide open.
	And then I was like, I'm a kid, so I'm like 12, 13.
	I'm like, oh, she's going to make it.
	She got better.
	She died two days later, I think.
	She just wanted to say bye to everybody.
	She just wanted to see all of her.
	That's how that shit was going to last.
	The best thing, too, when Clay, when the shit happened to Clay, I was stuck in the Bahamas because the weather was bad.
	You know, I can't fly in my plane when the weather that bad.
	So I'm sitting there.
	I'm like, damn, I didn't even get to tell him bye.
	Yeah.
	I was like, damn, they were about to pull the cord.
	And then I prayed again.
	I was like, man, let me just talk to him.
	I prayed, shit cleared up.
	I went back there and talked to him.
	Get the fuck out of here.
	That shit be working for me.
	I know.
	I do believe it works.
	It worked.
	Yeah.
	How could you not believe when you just have constant reminders of that connection?

	Because you know how they have to do it.
	You know, I found out the surgery I got, that's what can get people taller.
Surviving the Currents 00:10:06
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	They stretch your female some shit.
	Yeah.
	And they didn't, what?
	I didn't want it.
	Nigga, I get pussy like this.
	That is true.
	You do.
	I get pussed.
	You do get pussy.
	Dude, you have the most honest.
	Hold on, you know, I'm at the TAUT.
	Speaking of people come back to life.
	Yeah, yeah.
	My man Nard, he died.
	The host that go on the road with me.
	Nard died?
	Yeah, he died while I was in the hospital.
	This nigga died twice, though.
	What?
	I swear to God, y'all think I'm bullshitting?
	Yeah.
	He said I'm bullshit.
	Got my line.
	The motherfucker died.
	Clay Call me, right?
	He got twice.
	Niggas died.
	No.
	I thought he's like, I told you.
	For real, because he died and everybody was sending everything.
	He came back to life and got on live on Instagram.
	No.
	And then he got married, then died.
	Got married?
	Yeah, got married.
	How long between lives?
	How long was that?
	Not two weeks.
	Like two, three weeks.
	Get the what?
	Two, three weeks.
	And it's proof because he was on live.
	Like I said, it goes back.
	It was like he wanted to do something.
	He came back to life.
	Cut somebody out, got married, and died.
	So on some level, you think it is a choice when you tap.
	I know it's a choice.
	I've seen it like two, three times.
	Yeah.
	And those more than that, because I just told you Nard, I told you Clay, and then I told you Kool-Aid.
	Yeah.
	So that shit be real, man.
	Do you have any fear of death?
	No.
	Every time I've almost died, like, I almost died when I got hit by the car the first time.
	You know, the month before that, I got stuck in the water.
	Remember when the people did?
	Bro, this is the scariest thing.
	That was scary in the month.
	Can you explain this?
	People are probably familiar with it because now it's become pretty popular tourist attraction.
	What?
	That place where you got where you almost drowned.
	No, this, no, I don't almost drown.
	You talking about the one where you went into the...
	No, that's Jamaica.
	No, I don't talk about that time.
	That was another time I almost died.
	Like, this was the time, that was when I was in Jamaica and you jump through a hole and come out that way.
	This is why black people don't scuba dive.
	That was scuba dive.
	No, no, this is crazy.
	So what is it?
	It's like, you ever think any of your dead friends are like, how come this motherfucker not doing it?
	Many times he almost been here.
	Because they know if they dead and they believe I believe, they know I'm still down here for some type of reason.
	That's it right there.
	Okay, so you saw this girl go down.
	You're like, I'll follow you.
	You went the wrong way.
	Yeah, I went the wrong way.
	Like, I've done it twice.
	The first time, that's why I thought I could do it.
	The second time is when I almost died.
	So that's crazy.
	So what happens is you go through there and you slide through and then you come out the other way.
	But he jumped in.
	I jumped in and this was the first time I did it.
	I didn't smoke.
	You know, I didn't, you know, I wasn't smoking before then.
	The second time I did it, I went to Jamaica high than the motherfucker smoking.
	And I'm with my girl at the time.
	I'm like, all right, I'm going to do it now.
	I'm trying to show her I can do this shit because she never seen me do it.
	That's it right there.
	You go down.
	I went down and I think I made a right now that I'm looking at that shit.
	You got lost.
	You made a wrong turn out of the house.
	The fact that there's even a wrong way.
	The dumb part, this is how I knew I was high.
	I was under that bitch with my eyes closed.
	Trying to navigate through that shit.
	I had a big ass scar.
	I put it on Instagram.
	I had a big ass scar show my fucking face.
	But then once I realized I had my eye, I opened my eyes up and I swim back up.
	And that's how I got out of that motherfuck.
	And the crazy part, when I came up, nobody knew I was dying.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Like, motherfucker, I was down there until they seen all my face all fucked up from hitting the rocks under there.
	But you were stuck?
	Like something moving?
	No, I just went the wrong way.
	And then you got to hold your breath.
	Yeah.
	So you're like, you're like in a different pocket.
	Exactly.
	You just can't get out of the way.
	Pocket on.
	Like you didn't get suctioned down.
	Yeah, no, it wasn't suction shit.
	It's just, I was being stupid.
	Wait, so wait, what was the other time you almost drowned?
	Oh, the other.
	Oh, no, that was the, it was another time I was drowned in Kilago scuba diving.
	That time I was scuba diving because I almost ran out of air because I went too far down deep.
	And like, I was so excited.
	And the more you, the more energy you use, the more air you use.
	So I'm looking at the shit and it was like two and my instructor left me too.
	Why?
	Fucking with cow grooms.
	You know, calgrooms?
	Yeah.
	Motherfucker, I take him out there.
	He playing with the goddamn instructor, taking pictures.
	So they left.
	They left me right there.
	Where is there to go under the water?
	That shit went fucking.
	And see, where we was at Kilago.
	Key Lagoon.
	Key Lagoon is like, it's where the strongest like.
	Current, like it's a they call it drifting and shit where you could float.
	You ever know when people get uh uh, accidental a boat?
	They find that up in Virginia and like a two days, that's how strong that goddamn current is down there.
	That rip, that what they call it rip current, rip tide yeah, rip tide.
	So uh, if you ain't paying attention, you'll around and be be like five miles and don't realize it.
	And I was floating away, no matter how much I was doing, I was going and i'm looking at my thing and say two, like about five minutes left.
	So i'm like, oh shit, i'm finna, go on up.
	So i'm about to go up and as i'm going up there, she's like beep, beep.
	I said oh, I done, ran out of yeah.
	And the wildest, the crazy part is you got to do a three minute uh um, safety thing.
	You can't just go straight to the surface because your lungs will expand.
	Yeah, you'll around, get to catch the pressure yeah, catch the benefit.
	You got depressurized, but at the moment I was like shit, I can't breathe for three minutes underwater.
	So you gotta go.
	So i'm like either, but at this moment i'm like i'm gonna die either way.
	But either i'm gonna die up here, where they're gonna find me, or die down or die down there.
	Now we going up.
	So I just went on up.
	As soon as I went up man, the boat was like like two block, two New York blocks no, probably four New York blocks down the way.
	And I just got up and I was like hey, I came up too soon, i'm about to die.
	And an old white man, an 80-year-old white man, came and swimmed and got my ass and swimming, threw me on that goddamn boat like a fish and I just let him fit and he saved my life.
	Wait, was that the boat you were with or was that a different boat?
	That was my boat.
	How did you not get the bens god, I guess sometimes I mean I don't.
	It's like that's why they tell um, if you, if you um fly, you can't fly for 24 hours, like that's.
	That's the whole rules in scuba, that you can't fly for 24 hours because you can't catch the bends.
	But I guess I didn't catch it, or maybe I wasn't down no longer than I thought I was, but you still want to do that safety check, damn.
	And then the last time.
	That other time was when I was on the jet ski with my old lady, when you guys just floated out you know where, my island, at the little island where we, where we threw the reef this is terrifying like that there, like what happened with that, one was like where i'm at damn, I don't want to tell y'all this on camera, but all right.
	But me and my lady i'm like oh, let's go out there to the um my, my island.
	I got a little small island out there.
	I'm like let's go out there and and see if something out there so I go out there with nothing out there cut the engine off, tried to cut it on, that bitch didn't come on.
	So i'm just trying again.
	Boom boom, I ain't tripping.
	I'm like, all right.
	Boom boom boom, put my old lady on the back and i'm like oh, she started getting nervous.
	I tried again Again, that shit when I five minutes later, the island was this small.
	I was like, oh shit.
	Because the tides start to rise.
	And when he says island, it's like a mound of sand.
	This party.
	No, it's not a mouth.
	No, no, this is a rock.
	There was right in front of my house.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, it's a rock.
	It's just a big rock and it's coral around it.
	That's why I go scuba diving and see all the fish.
	And you can, what y'all do when y'all on scuba dive?
	Snorkel?
	Yeah, snorkel.
	Yeah.
	So it's a dope place to go see a lot of fish or whatever.
	But that day, that shit was like the current was so strong, like the way the flow it flows.
	My shit went all the way out there and the shit was this small and it was getting dark.
	And that ocean ain't nothing to be fucked up with.
	Like that's the most powerful thing.
	You don't want to play with that shit.
	And just so happened that my phone don't work in the Bahamas.
	Just so happened that day, my phone.
	Wow, I can attest to this.
	There's no fucking service.
	No, it's no service.
	My phone worked.
	I called the Coast Guard or whatever.
	The police, they came and got me.
	And they pulled me out right when it got pitched black.
	Wow.
	Right when it got pitched black.
	If it was about 10 more minutes, we would have been floating probably in Miami or some shit.
	Jet ski would have been in my we probably would have been gone.
	How long were we all out there together?
	Like all in total?
	That's a good question.
	I have to look on my time, you know, the time stamps because I was recording to it.
	A couple hours?
	No, we weren't out there that long.
	Probably about 45 minutes, an hour.
	But like I say, the five minutes, five minutes in the water and the current flowing.
	Yes.
	If the island right here, in about five minutes, you way like when you're recording, are you like, yo, guys, I might die right here.
	Are you doing like?
	No, well, when I was recording, I was saying, I don't remember.
	I got to look at it.
	Oh, no, no.
	What I did record, I showed them where I was at.
	I was trying to show, I sent it to the Coast Guards people that they ain't got Coast Guard.
	They just got police.
	I sent it to them.
	And I was showing them where I was at.
	But by the time I show them, I'm farther.
	Yeah.
	You see what I'm saying?
	So did you and your girl get into an argument while you were on the jet ski?
	No.
	I was so glad she, like, like I say, I was, and like, I was nervous as fuck because that's my biggest fear to be fucked up in the water.
	Like, that's out of all that shit.
	I ain't scared of too much of shit, but after all that shit there, but every time I was about to die, I always said, damn, I'm about to die.
	Even when I was getting hit by a guy, I was like, damn, I'm about to die.
	Damn, I'm about to die.
	What are you thinking when you think I'm about to die?
	You saying this how I'm in?
	I'm like, damn, this is how I'm in.
	Like the first time I got hit by the cock, like, while I was flying, I was like, damn, so this is how I'm gonna go.
Showing Where I Was At 00:07:13
	Just calm.
	It was, I was never caring about, I mean, tripping off a dime.
	Were you ever, were you ever anxious as a kid at all?
	As far as what?
	Like, did you ever have anxiety?
	Like, you have this like weird calm.
	Yeah, always.
	Nah.
	The only time I get anxiety is right before I go on stage.
	That's why I hate going last.
	Oh, yeah, because you just build up the entire show.
	Man, that shit just, you be in your, you know, it's comedians.
	You be in your head more and more.
	And it's even more harder to deal with nigga audience because we sitting there motherfucking.
	I gotta, I gotta make sure I'm great for these niggas.
	So I'm sitting in my head.
	And the longer I wait, the more my hair is switched up.
	I don't want to come up to that song no more.
	No, I don't want to do that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So that's the only time I get anxiety.
	I just realized that.
	So black people scare you more than death.
	That's basically what you're telling me.
	Now you get it.
	I see like my people.
	They ain't so much scared.
	Just like me great too, though.
	They the ones that make me great.
	Right, right.
	Because they put that pressure on me to where I can't fail.
	I can't fail.
	Like that's the only thing.
	That's the reason why I probably still do stand up because it's the only thing that I still have to work at.
	Everything else, life is so simple to me.
	That shit there.
	Keeps you on your toe.
	Have to keep thinking about it, keep thinking about it, you know.
	So maybe that's why what's the most important thing somebody can do for like a happy life, like you're talking to, somebody might not have a ton of money, might have a ton of money, who knows what, would you tell them?
	This is what you do.
	Understanding, that's the key to all this.
	Having understanding and trying to find understanding that's what.
	Because once you have understanding of certain shit, certain shit, you don't a lot of shit, you don't stress off a lot of stuff.
	You, you know what to fight and what not to fight and what's matters.
	And because sometimes you'll around, learn some and then as soon as you learn like, oh shit, I hate all them people.
	Now you know what i'm saying.
	Because you don't have no understanding, because you've been like saving, you find out.
	The Bible says, um um, Noah spread the, um the the Red Sea.
	Now I scuba dived in Moses.
	Who was it?
	Moses spread the red sea, yeah.
	So I scuba dive in the Red Sea and i'm looking at like there's no way, you know, like this is like the Grand Canyon under this, motherfucker.
	But some people look at it like oh, that's up Christianity yeah, where I don't look at it like that.
	It's just a story that give you understanding, make you see, but if you don't have no understanding of that, you would take that and say, fuck all the Bible, fuck everything, and so you miss out all the stories and lessons that you could learn, just because you heard that the wrong way.
	So yeah, so don't immediately write things off.
	Yeah, just have understanding.
	Instead of feeling like oh, i've been lied to, you think oh, what's true about this?
	Yeah, like why and such.
	So just understanding, that's what.
	And as a kid you would do this with everything.
	Maybe not to this level, but whatever level I was.
	What's your life like as a kid?
	Like you're, like what.
	You're 10 years old.
	What are you doing?
	You're in Jacksonville.
	I've always been popular, I believe it that so that i've always been, and you know what's so funny.
	I just realized why.
	Like, in my mind, i've always thought I was a star, but I just realized why.
	Why?
	Because when I was a kid, my mama had me on this in this thing called United Way.
	Okay, United Way is like, yeah, the NFL did the United Way.
	United Way it's like Feed The Children type.
	Okay, I was the.
	I was the kid on there.
	I was the kid that they like I was the feed the children kid.
	But in my mind, I guess, where it rises, my everybody knew me.
	So you're a star.
	In my mind i'm the star.
	But I didn't realize I was defeated.
	Yes, you know the star he's.
	Yes yes, I know.
	What amazing perspective.
	So, like you, i'm glad I didn't realize until later on.
	I just put two and two together like a couple years.
	Like this later, walking down the street, like waving, like i've always known how people looked at yeah, you know what people look at.
	Just come up to me, hand me food.
	It's unbelievable.
	I've always like, in my mind I always felt like I was a star.
	But now I understand why.
	Like now, you wasn't no star, just you were starving.
	Yeah, looked at you like you was the starved.
	Yeah, like feed the children kid.
	Like you know what i'm saying.
	So from that.
	So, but programming wise, subconsciously by me thinking i'm a star.
	I guess that plugged me into acting like a star.
	You know what i'm saying then.
	And then I learned early on, like when i'm in the hood, i'm looking around my hood, i'm like I ain't supposed to be here, like I don't.
	Was there a moment where you that's where the reincarnation come in because, like I like, right then it was like, oh no, that's not for me.
	This this not, it ain't for me.
	It's like, this don't look like like I don't look like I was supposed to be in this environment.
	And so, right then, it was like what was the moment that?
	That, just looking around, just like i'm like what, the and why?
	Why'd you feel like I don't know?
	Like right, I don't know.
	Because, like when I, when I made that perspective in my mind, I was like i'm here to help these.
	How old are you at this, at this time where you're having this?
	I don't know, maybe a kid, I couldn't.
	10 12 13, to sound good for this camera yeah, 10.
	But it was some type of moment that I was like, I'm here to help all these people around here.
	Wow.
	So that then that program stuck in my brain to you didn't care about the reward system of the neighborhood?
	Like, like, like if there was like a guy, like a drug dealer that had money, you didn't think, oh, I could do that.
	I've always was protected.
	Like, the village really raised me.
	Like, I've always, like, I'm one, you guys, like, they say, like, you can always die in the hood and shit.
	Like, I've never been like that because I've always been protected by the hood.
	Like, they've all, like, it goes back on being United Way nigga.
	Maybe that's the village always protected me.
	Like, if I've never had to, like, somebody like he might walk in there and they might, they poke their chests out.
	I never had to poke my chest out.
	Like, I could talk shit.
	I didn't start offending people to Twitter because they couldn't see me.
	Right.
	So, before then, I'm not a threat.
	I can walk in a room and talk shit.
	This nigga just killed six niggas.
	Yeah.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I'm talking shit.
	And in my mind, I don't realize that I shouldn't be talking to him like this.
	But he's okay with it.
	He's okay with it.
	You see what I'm saying?
	So I've always been, they've always protected me.
	And so I've always been that type of person.
	So it worked in my favor.
	I think what Mark is also asking.
	We hear these things.
	I grew up in the suburbs.
	You hear rappers be like, the only way you thought you could make it out of the hood was selling drugs or playing ball or rapping.
	Yeah.
	Which was true.
	And you value that reward system.
	But did you feel like I need to do these things to get out of here?
	Or did you work for me?
	I tried everything.
	We in the hood.
	I tried to play basketball, got cut.
	That was too little.
	I tried everything.
	I tried the band.
	I tried football, got hit.
	Then I joined the band.
	But what I was great at, this one I knew this is what I was supposed to do.
	We had pet rallies in school, and I used to be the dancing nigga.
	And I went out there and I started.
	And when I heard that crowd reaction, I was like, that was my drug.
	That's my dream.
	That's my, ain't no high bigger than that.
Dancing as My First Drug 00:08:52
	Yeah.
	To me.
	Like, even that morphine, that's second close.
	Yeah, but it's not like that.
	That's to me when I cry, when I get that crowd reaction, it's like the world is hugging me.
	Hey, that feels like a god hug to me.
	And you got it.
	You were dick throwing back in the day.
	Yeah, throwing dick.
	Throwing dick.
	Yeah, throwing dick and booty shaking.
	At what age did you start your dick throwing?
	The tender age of seven.
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah.
	When did hey, we want some pussy come out?
	Hey, we want some pussy.
	Shit like that.
	This shit was getting hard at seven.
	Throw that dick.
	No, I didn't.
	Throw that dude.
	It's dancing.
	Oh, you just talk about fucking.
	No, no.
	I mean, I ain't gonna, we ain't gonna do that.
	I can tell y'all some stories, but no.
	When did that song come out?
	1987.
	1987?
	I was 10.
	Two live crew.
	I was 10.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Hey, we want some pussy.
	Throw that dick.
	Yeah, we was wild back then.
	What do you mean?
	What do you mean?
	Throw that dick was a song.
	No, no, but what do you mean you were wild?
	I ain't saying that.
	Did you ever go to Freak Nick?
	No, I was Freak Nick was like Clay era.
	So a little bit older.
	Like I was there, but I was so young.
	Like I went at the end, like when it's when it was like 95, 95, 96.
	But like it was popping like 89, 90s, 91, 92.
	So, but I was more of the Daytona era.
	Like Daytona was 10 times.
	Like spring break?
	Spring break.
	It was crazy.
	It was called Black College Weekend, but it was no college kids.
	Niggas and street motherfuckers.
	I never heard of that.
	You wouldn't.
	I grew up in New York.
	What was the best HBCU in Florida?
	Famu, if you ask me.
	But I'm biased because I'm Famu guy and I'm from North Florida.
	I fuck with BCC, BCU.
	Now they changed their name, BCU.
	Why was Daytona Black College Weekend so crazy?
	You trying to get me to talk.
	Yes, we are.
	Yes, we are.
	Actually, that's the point of this whole thing.
	For you to talk.
	We've been talking for an hour already.
	We had a good time, man.
	Yeah, I hate this.
	I have to go pee since you're not in Santa Gogh.
	Wow.
	Yeah, we had a good time.
	Okay, so real quick.
	So young age, so you start to recognize that you want to help these people.
	You're probably seeing something in the neighborhood.
	You're seeing something in yourself.
	There's a little bit of a difference.
	I see that I'm a reflection of everything around here.
	And I got the God gave me the way to articulate it to people like you.
	But also to people, but also to people like them.
	I think that you speak to everybody.
	I know.
	I'm every nigga.
	It's all in me.
	Yeah.
	Well, did you just call me?
	We all did everything.
	He wanted to sing that one.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I feel like I'm every man.
	And I prove that by, I don't, I don't, I'm not one of the people that like to tell, hey, man, I get, I don't understand.
	I just show you and you say it.
	And social media helps that too because I don't have to say it.
	You'll see it in me.
	Like you relate to something I'm doing.
	Exactly.
	You have like a Larry David quality.
	You know, Larry David, right?
	Like, you know how everybody relates to his frustration because it's all of our frustration.
	It's a human frustration.
	It's not a Jewish thing, an old white guy thing.
	It's just everybody.
	And I feel like you, when you communicate, it works in the same way.
	And I don't say, like, I do it talking to y'all, but I don't say this is for black people.
	This is such and such.
	I just show it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I don't have to say I'm for black.
	I don't have to say this is black owned.
	Like your protest is different.
	Yeah.
	If I have to tell you I'm black, this black owned, you know what I'm saying?
	Like, and we don't realize.
	And I learned this through Chris at MTV2.
	Just like sometimes when you put a label on it, you block all alienate people.
	So like if a club say hip-hop, if you ain't in hip-hop, you're not going to go in there.
	Yeah.
	You know what I'm saying?
	But if it just say club, you'll try it out and you never know.
	You might like it.
	So that's how I treat everything.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I don't, even on my social media, I try not to, unless it's something like it's a joke that works good if I just say it.
	But for the most part, I try to keep it to where it's just, it's just me.
	And then whoever draw to it, that's who come to it.
	Like I don't, I didn't say I want to be, I want to get in the white world.
	So here's what I'm saying.
	Like most, most, most people in my industry, they like, they try to get in the white world and such and such.
	I've never wanted to do that.
	I've always been cool with, if the worst case scenario, all I got to do is entertain my people, I was cool with it.
	But I also understood too, we all the same.
	Yeah.
	We all the same.
	And I learned that through, and I proved that through Buck Wild when we did that show with the guy from Buck Wild.
	I was like, this red neck is a nigga.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Niggas and red niggas is pretty much damn near the same.
	You see what I'm saying?
	So, and we showed that through shit like that.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So I've always took that in everything, applied that.
	But I think a lot of times with people, when they feel that sensation you felt, which is like, I shouldn't be doing this, right?
	A lot of times there often is like a resentment for the community, right?
	And this happens with, it could be a poor white dude who feels like he's smarter than his community and he's like, I need to get out of here and I need to hang out with these smart people.
	No, I'm not that guy.
	I know you.
	I hate people like that too.
	I hate when my people, they get in and they shit on.
	And they should, yeah, yeah.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I'm not that nigga.
	I don't like if anybody, like Booksy, for example, if anybody should understand Boosie, it's us.
	Yeah.
	No matter how y'all, y'all can get offended all you want to you say, but we can't shit on our people.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, I can't, because I understand it.
	It's like that drunk uncle.
	Like, you might got a drunk uncle.
	You know he going to offend such, such, but you ain't mad at him.
	Yeah.
	So that's how I see our people.
	Like, so when I see other niggas condemning somebody that you know I culture, you could call them and talk shit.
	But why would you do it publicly?
	Yeah, like I'm not that.
	It only benefits you if you do it publicly.
	It don't help anybody.
	Now you let other people get in your ears.
	You let the battery get behind your back or let whoever in your world, like that circle niggas, I hate them more than all of that.
	I don't like the bougie fake niggas.
	You know what I'm saying?
	And why are they, why do they do that?
	Because you got to find a place of validation and comfort.
	It makes them feel superior to shit on these.
	Because a lot of motherfuckers, not even just us, it's just, you've been, you wasn't shit when you was a kid.
	And now you now.
	You're holding on to that.
	Yeah, now it's like being a villain.
	Revenge of the nerves.
	Revenge of the nerves is the realest movie ever.
	And people don't even realize because that's what we live in there.
	Yep.
	Everybody with the money was all the nerds when we came up.
	And they got all the right.
	Now they bullying the way they do.
	They bullying.
	They bullying.
	Same thing with gays.
	We used to bully gays.
	Now they doing all the bullying now.
	And you can't be mad at them.
	That's their get back.
	That's their get back.
	It's just, it's psychological.
	It's just like us over, we've been enslaved so long.
	Now I get back as fuck every such and such, such.
	What do you mean on that?
	Explain that.
	Like as far as slavery, we hold that.
	You can't be mad at the person say, man, y'all did such, Because it's just, it's like a scorn.
	It's like a scorned woman.
	Even if she is wrong for the most part, or something she says, but it's the score, it's the bruise.
	It's over time.
	It's just emotions.
	Yeah, it's going to stop you from having these connections.
	And that's why I come into play to fix the scoring from my people.
	But you don't tell people, don't be scorned.
	No.
	You just go, let's enjoy life.
	Let's understand what's going on and break perspective and thing and don't point fingers on why we fucked up.
	Let's fix it.
	Yeah, nobody wants to be told not to feel what they're feeling.
	Yeah.
	That's annoying.
	But we can look at someone who's feeling good and go, I'd like to feel like that.
	What's he doing to feel like that?
	Because after a while, even through social media, after a while, you start, because even as a kid, you look at, I don't want to do this.
	I want to do that.
	I want to do that.
	And then you start seeing everybody around that, you see me.
	And you're like, this motherfucker been living like this, non-stop for 50.
	He must got something right.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So I'm going to pay attention to him.
	It take a little longer for him because they're going to go through this motherfucker.
	Oh, he bought that money.
	You know how everybody was like, I am going to be a businessman.
	Oh, I'm going to do this.
	I'm going to do that.
	I'm going to chase this money.
	They did all that.
	It's four years later.
	Now they're all broke and struggling.
	Now they looking at me.
	What's the newest trend that you think is going to die out too?
	Because you're really good at this at pointing out truth.
	I don't like to knock it out because it's.
	I look at it.
	This is a good perspective.
	It's a good perspective.
Chasing Money and Negligence 00:03:07
	It's like the late night shows, the Jay Lenos.
	They always had that one motherfucker that didn't do shit, but he was popping.
	That's how I look at them shits.
	It's just like they there for a purpose.
	So you let them do their thing, but they gonna die out.
	But you would call out like the chicks who had the businesses.
	I do that to piss them off.
	I'm like, all right, I'm gonna show y'all.
	Y'all stupid ass, y'all around here chasing this and that.
	And y'all want to start your own independent business.
	All right.
	And then when it happened, I wait to afterwards.
	And then you start.
	But then I start, remember I said this poem.
	Yeah.
	You know what I'm saying?
	That's just a gentleman.
	You also remember I said this right now that you can point to in five years and be like, remember I said that?
	I have to look on my Instagram because that's, I don't really keep tabs up until it pop up.
	Yeah.
	So I have to.
	You live in the moment.
	All right, guys.
	We're going to take a break real quick because we got to talk about Morgan and Morgan.
	Look, if you are ever injured by the negligence of another, you deserve to be paid.
	One person's negligence can result in another settlement.
	So if you're in an accident, not calling a lawyer means you could be leaving money on the table when you're seriously hurt.
	Your injury could be worth millions.
	So if you are ever injured, you can check out Morgan and Morgan.
	Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury law firm.
	They have over 100 officers and have recovered.
	This is important.
	Over $20 billion for over 500,000 clients.
	That doesn't mean one settlement for $199 billion and then a couple other people fighting for scraps.
	500,000 people have won money.
	And those people have won over $20 billion.
	So getting injured because of someone else's negligence is hard to go through.
	And I know that.
	But luckily, submitting an injury claim with Morgan and Morgan is easy.
	So if you're ever injured, you can check out Morgan and Morgan.
	Their fee is free unless you win.

	Why do you think lives and streaming has become so popular?
	Because people ain't got shit to do.
Streaming Success in Hollywood 00:10:20
	That's why it's been so hard for me to do podcasts and shit.
	Because it was so hard for me to...
	Y'all was the first people to tell me to do them shits.
	You and Charlemagne get in the podcast and say it'd be perfect for me.
	But I don't like to ramble a lot like that.

	Yep.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So, and like a lot of times when I talk, if you ain't paying attention, or if you want to be offended, you can.
	You can take it out of context.
	You can take it out of content.
	So I have to protect myself in certain type of ways.
	But I don't know.
	Just over time, I think I'm going to eventually get into it.
	Orange's not doing this now.
	That park, not yours, but the podcast I got coming out is because of Clay and Charlemagne, though.
	Yeah.
	Because Charlemagne Bing gave me the, I mean, the network Ben gave me the deal or whatever.
	Yeah.
	But I just said, fuck this shit.
	But by them being my friends, they understand me.
	So they waited out with me.
	And Clay, Clay convinced me to do it with him.
	Yeah.
	So I ended up doing it.
	And then he died.
	So now I'm doing it.
	To honor him.
	Yeah.
	And just because they held me down, Dolly and what's her name?
	Because they could have took the money back and all that shit.
	Yeah.
	But in general, streaming seems so popular right now.
	Oh, we got off track.
	I think streaming is like that because, like I say, people ain't got that much.
	I mean, they got shit to do.
	So a lot of people ain't got shit to do.
	So they got, they just watch.
	It's something to do.
	So it's just boredom.
	You're bored.
	It's boring.
	And I don't want you to watch me while you're boring.
	That takes the mystique of power of who you are.
	Wait a minute.
	Explain that.
	You don't want people to watch you while they're born.
	It's just like specials.
	That's why I don't care about stand-up specials because people, it ain't special no more.
	You watch when you're laying in the bed about to go to sleep.
	You want people putting on an outfit, going to the movie theater, making an event out of it.
	That's what made us who we are.
	That's what made Delirious great.
	That's what made all the specials great.
	Even when you watched when the last time a special changed something, when the last time a special really don't do it no more, they ain't that no more.
	They're not saying you don't do it.
	It's like the album.
	It's like an album.
	Album don't have the effect they used to do no more.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So once I understood that, my specials, I've been putting out specials on Twitter for 15 years.
	So, and all, because what specials did, they gave us catchphrases and gave us shit that implemented the culture.
	Yeah.
	What I've been doing on social media.
	Right.
	So I've been doing it.
	It's just, we're programmed to think that's what comedy is and that's what that shit is, but it really ain't.
	Like we programmed to think we want to be movie stars because that's what we came up here.
	That shit been done 20 years ago.
	Yeah.
	You know what I'm saying?
	And I understood that 20 years ago.
	That's why I never chased that side of the world.
	Dude, it's so crazy.
	I was looking at why you chose to get into hip-hop videos is such an interesting thing.
	I didn't know that this was a choice.
	I thought you just kind of like, I don't know, stumbled into it.
	It's like I understood.
	This is a, yeah, can you break down?
	I understood early this shit is over with this Hollywood shit.
	And at that time, too.
	How did you know?
	Just paying attention.
	I mean, what are you seeing?
	You see?
	I'm just looking.
	It's just like, it's just like now, like, people say the world fucked up, but it can't be fucked up.
	If you look, they still building buildings here, there.
	It's just money going somewhere.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So it's the same thing in life.
	So I don't pay attention to what people say.
	I just pay attention to what's going on.
	What's moving culture?
	Moving.
	Because humans, we just talking, but we really are what we are.
	So if you pay attention to the people's actions, and that's what you'll find out.
	So that's what I did then.
	So I just paid when I went out to LA and I started seeing what was going on.
	Like, oh no, this shit changing.
	And then the internet started, social media started bubbling at that time.
	And then it wasn't.
	And then too, this was the main thing.
	TV, it wasn't no black shows on TV no more at that time.
	So this is what sitcoms was dying down now.
	So after UPN9 kind of started, yeah, it started fizzling down.
	So you start saying, like, where are the black people?
	That's nowhere for us on this motherfucker no more.
	And then you're like, where are they?
	Where are they?
	They're in music.
	Yeah, like, where, where is our culture?
	And so I'm looking at where it's making the impact.
	The impact was in videos.
	You see what I'm saying?
	Like, and even to this day, shit that stuck in our head is mostly shit from videos.
	So I understood that.
	I was like, shit, I'm right here in the meat of this shit.
	These motherfuckers love me anyway because most of the rappers come to my stand-up shows.
	And so we already had, that's why I came.
	And see, that's another thing, too, because people start trying to do what I did, but same thing with stand-up.
	It was organic.
	So it works for me.
	Like, it's, I am a hip-hop comedian.
	So it works for me.
	I ain't trying to force it because I seen it work.
	It is me.
	So I'm saying, and it was just time.
	That's why I say the universe, God, it just all worked at the perfect timing.
	You see what I'm saying?
	Like, and I just rode with it.
	I trust the universe that it's going to work in my favor.
	So once I understood that, I understood like, I'm going to go where people love me.
	And I went to Atlanta.
	I went back to Atlanta.
	Yeah.
	And I got on social media.
	And that was another thing.
	When I got on social media, I was like, ain't nobody on this motherfucker yet.
	And I seen this was the beginning.
	I understood like this is the future.
	And that's when I was like, I could be my own Hollywood right here.
	That's what I understood.
	This is going to be Hollywood.
	So I just started focusing on, and then I understood like humans, how they brains work.
	And the kids, people was kids on social media at first.
	Like, I was programming people how to talk on Twitter because they didn't know, understand how to talk regularly on Twitter.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It'd be little shit like that.
	So I understood my power.
	Yeah, the only time they'd ever typed anything was like an essay.
	Yeah, they had to type things in colloquial English.
	They didn't understand how to transfer the dialect how we're talking now to social media.
	It sounds easy now, but back then it was like people was really stupid.
	Or something you could tell a simple ass joke, and this was hilarious.
	Yeah, yeah, it was go crazy.
	It was like these motherfuckers are kids now.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But the difference between me and everybody, like I understood, I didn't use my shit for personal gain because I could have monetized and fucked over people and manipulated the game and became everything y'all seeing like world star or all this shit there.
	But I used it more so to the same thing I use with everything to help our people get what we are.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So, and it like people say like they influenced by these other comedians, but if you watch them, all of them follow my blueprint.
	For example, oh, I'm just saying, as far as everything that they successful is, it's from social media, from them building that social media shit.
	You see what I'm saying?
	It ain't from them being them fucking movie star.
	Yeah.
	Whoa, made it from being the movie star in the last 10, 15 years.
	Nobody.
	Even in the white world.
	I always made it.
	Even in the white world, who done made it?
	No, you're right.
	Like, they think, like, I always hear it say, like, we don't, we, we don't have that much.
	Um, there's not enough for the black community.
	It ain't nothing for nobody.
	Yeah.
	Everybody fucked up.
	We just take it personal because we go through it.
	But you, I remember that time, you was before this shit happened, you was like, man, this shit fucked up out here.
	I'm struggling.
	I don't know where to go.
	But people don't know that story.
	Yeah.
	They don't hear that because they just think all white people got it easy.
	Yeah.
	But he was like, he didn't know where to go.
	He was still trying to figure it out.
	But look, it happened.
	They only see the success.
	Because of the internet.
	Because of the internet.
	Yeah.
	I just really adopted it.
	He created his own.
	He adopted it and he created it.
	It's understanding.
	So, and that's why I get my, you know, I'd have some show or something like that.
	And that's another thing that's dope about you.
	There are certain people that like they'll be they'll take somebody's influence like I took your influence, right?
	And then when they do something special, instead of feeling good about that, they'll be like angry or jealous.
	And you, you, people will do that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And like, but you would always, you'd always hit me and you'd be like, damn, man, you're making me cry out here in the Bahamas.
	Yeah, because I love to see.
	That's why I do it.
	That's why I get my satisfaction from.
	Yeah, it was great.
	It ain't the money.
	It ain't the success.
	I've had so much success now.
	I ain't pretty much nothing left.
	Everything you could think you want to do, I did.
	Yeah.
	So, I mean, it's just like now I get my success.
	I get my satisfaction out of watching people that.
	But what a great, like, what a great.
	Even if they don't give me props.
	Even I just like to see it.
	It's just like you're seeing a kid like, look at this motherfucker acting like me.
	But isn't that like a genius move?
	Like, think about that pivot, right?
	You go, you go, okay, where is my community?
	Where are eyeballs?
	What are we watching?
	Oh, we're not watching TV shows because ain't shit out there really for us.
	We're watching music videos and the music videos are almost our stories.
	There are shows.
	I'm going to integrate myself in this where I already exist.
	I'm friends with all these guys and I'm going to be the thing I already am, which is hip-hop comedian.
	That takes balls.
	Most people are still trying to chase Hollywood.
	They're still trying to get it.
	That's what they thought.
	They do what you taught.
	Like you do what works.
	But that's genius shit right there.
	It's sometimes, and you might not credit yourself, but genius is bucking the trend.
	Genius is doing the thing that nobody wants to do or nobody is willing to do it.
	It's sitting right there and none of us see it.
	Even though it makes perfect sense and the confidence to do it.
	Yeah.
	But it just comes from being simple.
	Like I understand how to make it simple.
	However, you want to describe it.
	What I'm saying is it's a very rare quality.
	It's easy to be second.
	It's easy to see someone do it and then do it after them, but it's very hard to be the first person to do it.
	It's just trailblazing.
	I mean, it's just being a trailblazer and then being an explorer.
	Like, I hate being in a room and everybody knows something I don't.
	Yeah.
	So I've always applied that to me.
	So it's like, if I find out there's something going on, like when I get in, when I got into aviation and I seen that whole world and I started putting to it, I'm like, this shit been going on 100 years.
	I don't know not one person that really fly for real.
	Yeah.
	That's what I'm here for.
	I'm here to show these motherfuckers we could fly.
Exploring the Unknown Depths 00:02:37
	What about space?
	I want to go to space.
	That's boy.
	That's my gun.
	That's the last one.
	That's the last one.
	I can't wait to do the self in the world behind me.
	Shit on the motherfucker.
	I might go live.
	That's when I'm going to go live.
	I'm going to go live on that bitch.
	And then after that, I don't know what the fuck to do.
	Bottom of the ocean, would you do that?
	I've done that.
	But like deep submarine?
	I got a submarine at the top, but I don't go in it.
	It's the camera, though.
	But I want a submarine.
	I want to, I saw one, but that shit comes.
	You're not going to get scared, claustrophobic.
	I'm claustrophobic.
	I'd rather go to fly.
	I'm at the bottom of the ocean.
	Huh?
	I think so.
	I'd rather go to space than the bottom of the ocean.
	Yes, absolutely.
	Space is space.
	I don't know.
	I've been rethinking the ocean for a second.
	I don't know.
	That might be a portal somewhere for real.
	What do you mean?
	I don't know.
	The ocean scares me, so I'm probably going to believe it.
	The ocean is something in there.
	It's like Aquaman, the movie, that comes from something for real.
	That shit real down there, man.
	And when you go down there, scuba diving is what made me understand how dumb I was too.
	What do you mean?
	When I first went down, I realized, damn, this is a whole world down here.
	Yeah, most of the world.
	70% of the world or whatever is water, and we haven't explored the majority of that 70%.
	You see that and you realize how much you don't know.
	Yeah.
	You're like, oh, no, I'm really dumb.
	Yeah.
	That's why I say we all dumb.
	Yeah.
	Just don't see it.
	What does dumb mean to you?
	Does dumb mean just their thing?
	Humans are dumb.
	Yeah, we're all dumb.
	We're all robots, but we think we're smart.
	Yeah, that's put two and two together, but we're dumb.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And we prove it every day because the robots are programming us.
	So you use the word dumb as just following, not acknowledging there's so much more out there that you don't know.
	I'm using like, we don't control ourselves as much as we think we do.
	We have a lack of autonotomy.
	Yeah.
	That's dumb, ain't it?
	Yeah.
	Like we don't, we really wake up and do whatever we program to do.
	Yeah.
	The difference is I understand my programming, so I reprogram it before we like I could see it.
	Like, shoot, boom, boom, boom, boom.
	No, I ain't gonna do that.
	That's where self-discipline come in.
	What do you think about AI?
	Artificial intelligence.
	It is what it is.
	Like, shit.
	I think AI is to connect us together and we're going to be superhumans.
	You're going to be like X-Men around this bitch.
	So you got.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Best case scenario for you is the robots are best case scenario.
	It's going to fix things.
	So I. Nah, it's definitely going to, I mean, it's going to leave.
	It's going to be like, if you ain't got the robot or understand, it's going to be like not knowing how to read back in the day.
	You're going to be really illiterate or out the loop or either amateur Amish or whatever the shit.
	Yo, that's fucking fantastic.
	It really is because if you don't have AI, you're illiterate.
Embracing Shrooms and Stars 00:03:08
	That's wow.
	No, I'm serious because you're...
	That is it.
	Because you got to take advantage of it.
	Just imagine you in a room and trying to go in against people that got this shit.
	Yeah, to get it, man.
	You can't.
	You can't.
	You can't compete with a motherfucker like that.
	He's saying, all right, I know how to do this.
	I know how to do that.
	Boom, boom, boom, boom.
	And you think it's a motherfucker genius, but he got that chip in his goddamn brain.
	Yeah.
	There's people out here like that now.
	We just don't know it yet.
	Yeah.
	So adaptive.
	I was walking around with them glasses for two, three years, the Ray-Ban glasses.
	Nobody knew.
	They're thinking I'm holding my phone and shit.
	A lot of shit we don't know until.
	You don't get worried that the AI will get too smart and take over humans?
	I think that's just where we're supposed to go as humans in the long run anyway.
	like because we really this is just flesh like we spirits more than anything so i feel like after a while we're gonna ascend from this out this little ragged ass body of ours and goes to there and that's our way to go through through technology have you ever done ayahuasca no i don't need to because i mean ayahuasca bring you to understanding you're already connected i'm already connected wow i already connected shrooms you love though what do shrooms give you I haven't done shrooms since this accident, honestly.
	But shrooms, what made me say, oh, no, I do know what I'm talking about.
	Shrooms did.
	And it opened up like, oh, shit.
	Now it made me realize a lot of, you're like, oh, shit, that was how that invented.
	They was on shrooms.
	That's how that was.
	They was on shrooms.
	Shrooms just open up any ayahuasca or the other, what's that?
	MDM?
	DMT.
	It just opens it up to understanding it.
	But even to do them, you got to already be kind of there.
	You have to be willing to accept it.
	Accept it and see it for what it have a little understanding that it's bigger than who we are as humans.
	Yeah, there's something that when we were in the Bahamas that you kept stressing is the wrong word, but kind of pointing out.
	And it was like, when at night, we, you know, looking at the stars, it was this constant like humbling.
	You're just like, look how little we are.
	Look how that's what shrooms do.
	Like, you can't be arrogant on shrooms because you realize you're part of this whole thing.
	Yeah.
	To Hinduism.
	That's where it takes it back to that.
	And it's like, oh, no, this is what we're supposed to be doing.
	And I'm sitting in the grass with bugs all on me and I can.
	It's like, this is what it is.
	Yeah.
	And that's when it goes back when I went traveling and shit.
	I would say all pieces of the puzzle start coming together.
	It's like, oh, that's what I was learning over there with that goddamn Hindu shit.
	This is what, boom, boom, boom.
	Dude, it was fun.
	Life is the best show ever.
	It is.
	If you're willing to watch it.
	If you're willing to watch it.
	That's how I look at shit from the outside looking in.
	But I'm just happy I'm a part of the characters.
	But your character in it, like, because watching your show is kind of funny because we would be walking, right?
	And you'd be like, yeah, man, my old lady don't like Asian bitches.
Deprogramming to Find Yourself 00:15:45
	Like, you just say something random, right?
	And then, and then you, and then I'd be like, oh, fuck, is that poison ivy?
	And you'd be like, yeah, it's okay.
	Just rub some of that leaf on it.
	I go, why?
	And he goes, oh, nature always puts the cure to the illness right next to it.
	And you'd be like, what is going on right now?
	Do you remember telling me that shit?
	That's true, though.
	That's that.
	You told me that poison oak.
	There was something like the cure was a leaf right next to the thing.
	I mean, not America.
	The world always gives us something.
	It gives us everything.
	We just lost it over time through technology, but it's right there.
	Like, usually whatever the problem is, the solution right next to it.
	And that's in life too.
	Damn, that's deep.
	I just thought about that.
	See, I got saying, I'm not smart.
	This should just be coming at us from somewhere, but it ain't me.
	I just happen to use whoever uses me using me.
	Do you feel like they were trying to silence you?
	Because I feel like there was a time where it probably was, but when you're on that four thinking, you don't realize to afterwards.
	And then you're like, oh, shit.
	But yeah.
	Because there was a time like I was trying to follow you and then there was another page and another page.
	But that was, I was just, usually when shit happened, I'm usually the first one.
	So I'm the collateral damage for everybody.
	So even when I think I was on your show last time, I was like, everything y'all seeing happen now, it's going to happen to everybody else eventually in our culture.
	And it's every for the last four years, niggas was getting deleted for just talking like niggas.
	So this is like a really, there's an important distinction here.
	This exposed the problem with the lack of diversity, right?
	There were people getting kicked off Instagram.
	Other black people getting kicked off Instagram for bullying, right?
	And they'd be getting kicked off for putting comments out there like, yo, you stupid.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	You stupid, Instagram would deem as bullying when anybody knows black people is the highest compliments when you make a jokes.
	But it was just the fact that there were no black people in there realizing that there were certain vernacular, certain colloquialisms.
	And that was when I was like, oh, shit, there is a way.
	Now, I don't know if it's done with nefarious intent.
	I don't know if the people at Instagram were going, how do we get black people all social?
	No, it wasn't.
	I think it's more so when you get to a certain level, like Instagram got to a certain level to where they got to cater to the world.
	Right.
	You see what I'm saying?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And so that little world that we in, it don't matter to them.
	You see what I'm saying?
	Yeah.
	And I always knew that.
	And that's kind of not.
	That's why I was always prepared.
	Like all them Instagram pages I had, I was ready for that shit.
	That's why I had like four Instagram page before everybody realized I'm all the way off.
	That took two years.
	I was on that bitch for two years off of fake page.
	I mean, I fake paid off my second, third, fourth pages because I was prepared for it for when it was going to happen.
	Because I already knew.
	This is like when Fox used us to build a brand.
	You see what I'm saying?
	I already understood.
	I understand our place in this Martin living single.
	Yes.
	That's how it's in the early 90s.
	And then now you don't even remember.
	You just think of Fox as just conservative, Republican.
	They use, they say they do with Tubi.
	They use it to build.
	And that's how brand hip-hop builds shit.
	Like that's what hip-hop do.
	Hip-hop builds all these brands up.
	And then one stay, all right, let's go on.
	You see what I'm saying?
	Because that's what we good at.
	That's where I amplifying, get attention, entertainment, pure.
	Come watch this.
	You're going to watch.
	Is that like a historical cycle?
	Am I like slavery?
	Y'all built everything.
	And then they're like, all right, well, now that y'all built it, get the fuck out.
	Yeah, where if you understand the game you're playing, that goes back to understanding.
	You know how they flipping and manipulating it too.
	So you're not going to just use me.
	Yeah.
	I'm going to use this.
	I'm going to use this too.
	So I ain't going to be that motherfucker and say, man, Instagram, Instagram, fuck with whoa.
	If you know, you was there.
	I've never complained about this.
	The only reason I got my paper was cousin Clay.
	Remember, I was like, fuck it, who the whooping.
	Yeah.
	And he got it back.
	But, and the reason I really need it back because, like I said, it's bigger than me.
	My page is really for our culture.
	Like, that's really like our melting pot, whether the niggas realize it or not.
	But really, that's where it keeps us all going.
	It keeps everything going.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So it's bigger than my page, really bigger than my.
	Twitter is really for me.
	Instagram is really for us.
	You know what I'm saying?
	What you mean by that?
	I really enjoy talking shit on Twitter.
	Like, I really enjoy exploring.
	What's y'all fake caring about today is my favorite thing.
	I enjoy it.
	I can express myself and get it off and move on.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I don't care about such and such.
	There's no censorship on it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So I love it.
	I've always loved it.
	Like, I never, I'll probably be more hurt than on Twitter.
	And I ain't even, Twitter ain't even got as much impact as my Instagram do.
	You know what I'm saying?
	But shit, I just love it.
	Where does what y'all fake caring about come from?
	Knowing people just be fake caring.
	And why is it important that you show them that they're fake Karen?
	You don't have to show, it's just over time.
	Like my shit, you get over time because after a while, you're going to get tired of me saying, damn, it's fake.
	Or you're going to come in a situation where it's like, oh, yeah.
	And this is fake can.
	I did not give a fuck.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Half the shit people that tried to cancel me, it was some fake can shit because after a while, they don't even remember why they didn't like me.
	Yeah.
	But they don't realize it probably could have fucked my whole shit up.
	You know what I'm saying?
	But being the type of person I am, the way I'm programmed, and understanding that how much power I have in the universe, nothing can affect me.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Really a superhero out this bitch without the Ai yet.
	So watch when I get the Ai.
	It's over, stay woke.
	But are you a superhero or is it because there are people that really with you that makes you the superhero?
	It's both.
	That's when it works for both.
	When the accident happened, that's when they helped me.
	Yeah, you know what i'm saying because they understood what I was given.
	They gave it back when, when you were trying, when people were trying to cancel you, there were all these people supported you, supporting me.
	You know what i'm saying.
	So it always works.
	Universe, it gives, it gives back.
	So you would get the neural link or you would get some type of like brain chip.
	If it was, I would get.
	I don't know about that neural link.
	I I need a couple people to die first, but i'm gonna get whatever's gonna be out at the time.
	That's normal.
	Yeah yeah, that seems comfortable enough.
	Why not like what?
	What is what's stopping us from not doing?
	I'm not finna, be Amish Amish, what is this?
	Yeah, i'm not finna.
	Be that motherfucker out here like I and where I live in the islands.
	That's about as almost i'm gonna get.
	Yeah, you know that to me on that island is like, if I don't, if I don't need it over here, I don't need it.
	So that's why I programmed myself to be like, just in case I don't want to go too far left, I can still deal with this.
	What do you think about America, living in America, the future of America?
	I'm curious all your thoughts, because I think about this a lot.
	I think America, in the beginning stages of where we're gonna be, is who we are everywhere.
	We, the Asia, that's pretty much what it is.
	Whatever going on over there, that's kind of like we.
	So we think we are here, but we really behind you know what i'm saying?
	Like really, I think so.
	As far as where, with with um, China and Russia, financially Russia and just socially China we bring more and more think about it they socially awkward, who are the most socially awkward people.
	Oh, you're saying that we're just gonna get there.
	Yeah, we're just already there.
	They already isolated.
	Yeah, they already there.
	They already what they are.
	They already super robots when they doing this.
	You know what i'm saying?
	We at the beginning stages of all this, and even in the con and economics or whatever business, we still at the beginning stage, and do you think we're all gonna eventually become those robots?
	Yeah, and is that something we keep saying?
	Robots is, it's not robots.
	The robots is just what I get.
	It's like, no no no, it's like a Viagra.
	When I say robots, I don't mean robots, I mean like, do you think that all the decisions will essentially be made for us and we'll just have no autonomy?
	Because that seems to be what you're saying right now is like you're deprogramming yourself and that you're gonna make the decisions about your life and do what you think is best, instead of having these trends decide what you do.
	Yeah yeah, that's how you're supposed to do.
	That's how you're supposed to do, even before all that happened.
	You, before all that, before you get affected by the world you, you understand the world and and build your own world like an ecosystem where none of that is going on out there don't even bother you.
	You know they do that in Florida.
	Oh, there's so many communities we're like already, small communities where they have their own world.
	Bro, that's the thing about Florida where, like you saw Florida, I think black people in Florida were the first black people to openly support Trump, and to me i'm like, oh, they're operating in their own community, they're not worried about what the world might think of a black person supporting this guy who is, but that's just called racism.
	We just we don't.
	It ain't so much like we right or wrong.
	We just say what the we want to say, that's just flawed the motherfuckers and we get a kick out of.
	But now everybody gets a kick out of it.
	Yeah, because that's another thing.
	You see what i'm saying?
	Like the trend started there, that's in America.
	If you want to see the future, go to The Bay or go to Florida.
	Wait really yeah, The Bay gonna tell you the technology future.
	Florida gonna show you this, The Streets.
	Wait, really?
	So the street shit starts Florida always.
	That's why I say I was in the perfect place.
	Florida.
	That's why everything I am, I'm the culture.
	I'm the culture of everything.
	So I might have a heads up already because where I'm at, I'm just like God put me in the perfect place.
	I got a question.
	You ever seen a ghost?
	Never.
	Do you believe in ghosts?
	If I did, I'd probably like I'm so I would accept it.
	So I probably did, but just look at it like that's a ghost.
	I ain't gonna be fucking with that motherfucker.
	Some shit like that.
	I can't say off the top of my head where I just saw like a real motherfucker just appear.
	That do you think aliens are real?
	That wasn't a ghost.
	I think that was a lady that God used.
	And it's like, I ain't done with him yet.
	You think aliens are real?
	Yeah.
	I mean, we would be arrogant to think that the only motherfuckers on earth.
	Do you think they're here?
	Like, you know, when I think this shit is so, this, we so far behind in the universe shit, they probably look at this shit.
	They're bored.
	Yeah, it's like, why don't we want to go there?
	Yeah.
	These motherfuckers just learn how to fly.
	Yeah.
	We still don't know.
	Fly yet.
	Like, so I don't.
	Okay.
	I just think there's a whole nother entity or something that we beyond our brains.
	Can't even see it, maybe.
	Yeah, we don't realize how dumb we are.
	Like, we really dumb.
	Like, think about the shit 20 years ago.
	Yeah.
	We thought we were so smart.
	And now this shit is so smart.
	Yeah.
	I was just talking to a guy about this, about germ theory.
	We didn't know about germs until like late 1800s, 1900s.
	Let's use something simple.
	This is where I come in.
	The engine in the car.
	All them components in the engine.
	Now you got a Tesla.
	Only thing you got in that bitch is a battery.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You see what I'm saying?
	We could have been there that shit 50 years ago.
	Yeah.
	So, but we was too stupid.
	We wanted to overthink it.
	Yeah.
	Well, over town, we started realizing, we ain't got to do all that.
	Take that out.
	Yeah.
	Take that out.
	Take that out.
	Use this.
	Boom.
	Simple.
	Okay.
	Two things.
	One, your daughter is, how old now?
	16.
	16 years old.
	Okay.
	Moments in her life that you really wish that you had paid more attention or focused more.
	Like what happened?
	You have 16 years of experience in something that I have one month of experience.
	So I just want.
	There ain't no blueprint to this shit, bro.
	Not how to do it, but like, what are some things that like that were just really special moments that you were glad that you were there, really glad that you were present, glad that you did not miss?
	I just came to everything I could.
	And like I say, technology worked in for me perfect.
	Because when I couldn't be there, the FaceTime.
	Yeah.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, technology is really great, bro.
	Like, it works in your favor a lot, especially nowadays, where we move and shit like that there.
	So, and then the bonding from day one, a lot of stuff, I ain't have to be there as much as I wanted to be.
	Because the bond was built early.
	Mine was already built, and I've always was in her life.
	And me being me kind of worked in my favor.
	Because now I'm like, I'm cool with that.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Kids don't listen to parents.
	You know what I'm saying?
	But unless you somebody, unless they look up to you like that.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Most time when we look up to people, we look up to people we want to be like.
	We don't really want to be like your mama or daddy or some shit like that where we came from.
	So for me being who I am and I guess her friends or whatever, it work in my favor because that's her dad or whatever.
	Right.
	So it makes you proud.
	Do you think she's as wise as you were at that age?
	Wiser?
	You know what I mean?
	The shit that's me is I'm not, I don't, it ain't, it ain't me, bro.
	Like it's, I can't put this on anybody.
	I don't think everybody that's that's like me, they get it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	But I can't, I don't think it's supposed to be in her without is the understanding I guess.
	Does she know you love her?
	Hell yeah.
	Hell yeah, she knows.
	I don't even have to question that.
	Now I'm at the stage now.
	I want her to, I'm just trying to get her to understand, because she's real carefree like me.
	I don't need her to be like that.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I need her to get more hustle in her.
	So now I'm just getting her to where she, the good thing about it, she, I guess she do got understanding because 16, like, and my, I always tell, like, you know, you're about to be grown.
	Like, you're finna be 18 in two years.
	But she was like, I ain't ready to be grown.
	She was like, I don't feel like you should be grown until you're like 30.
	Wow.
	Which makes a lot of fucking sense.
	So by her just understanding that, it makes me like, she do got a little understanding.
	She understands that she ain't there yet.
	You know what I'm saying?
	That's a wise thought.
	So I guess she is wise.
	Okay.
	She got a little bit of me.
	And then final question before you go.
	Any regrets in your life?
	Nope.
	My shit is the best show ever, man.
	I ain't got no regrets.
	And then the little shit is just like, I should have took that this.
	But it don't be shit.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Just little shit.
	I shouldn't have tweeted that.
	Some shit like that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But no, I ain't no.
	Hell no.
	Like, I can't think of a bad part in my life.
	Like, all that shit been good.
	Even the, even the accident.
	Now that I'm healed now, it's like, damn, that was a good part.
	The movie, though.
	Like, if it was a movie, that would be a good part.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Outside of that.
	Nope.
	Do you think you've achieved your purpose?
	I think I'm living in my purpose until he's ready for me or until it's time for me to transition to whatever's next.
	But I just think I'm living to my purpose.
	And I never had, I ain't got no goals now.
	Like, I ain't got like an all right.
	I want to, as far as in the entertainment level, I feel like I'm living my goal every day, just being who I am and being the person I want to see change in the world.
	And when I see the world change, it's just like, I feel like that's how God is.
	He's like, look at this.
	Look what I'm doing.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Look what I'm doing.
	And I ain't getting nothing out of it.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Because, shit, I could make billions, but it ain't nothing in there for me like that.
	It's more satisfaction in watching.
	Fair enough.
	Little Duval, ladies and gentlemen
